The volume presents a collection of case studies by leading Medievalists on the subject of literary interculturation strategies in the biblical narratives of the Middle Ages and early modern period. It thus makes a contribution to research on the genre of the "biblical epic," unpacking its controversial hybridity at the intersection between sacred texts and aesthetic invention.
