The Reception and Interpretation of “Old Testament” Figures in Literature and Art from Antiquity through the Reformation: Studies, 1983–2018

This article presents a comprehensive bibliography of studies on Adam, Moses, Joseph, and other figures from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament in the thirty-five years since the publication of Charlesworth’s two-volume Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. It focuses on the reception and interpretation of these figures in both literature and art from the antiquity through the Reformation. It is limited to survey-style studies and comprehensive works rather than those that examine a biblical figure in a single text or work of art, and in this respect is meant to serve as a gateway to advanced research.
