The present volume contains papers delivered at the International
Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books, held at the Sapientia
College of Theology, Budapest, Hungary, 14-16 May, 2009. The
contributions explore various aspects of the Book of Judith: its
textual versions, historical background, theological ideas and
literary afterlife. The conference, on which this volume is based,
was the most comprehensive scholarly meeting devoted recently to
the Book of Judith. The contributors reopened several basic
questions concerning the writing, such as the identification of
concrete historical personalities reflected in the book, or some
aspects of the halakhic system of the author.The scope of the
contributions extends also to the late mediaeval use of the book by
European playwrights.
