    Many writers in antebellum America sought to reinvent the Bible, but no one, Ilana Pardes argues, was as insistent as Melville on redefining biblical exegesis while doing so. In Moby-Dick he not only ventured to fashion a grand new inverted Bible in which biblical rebels and outcasts assume center stage, but also aspired to comment on every imaginable mode of biblical interpretation, calling for a radical reconsideration of the politics of biblical reception. In Melville's Bibles, Pardes traces Melville's response to a whole array of nineteenth-century exegetical writings—literary scriptures, biblical scholarship, Holy Land travel narratives, political sermons, and women's bibles. She shows how Melville raised with unparalleled verve the question of what counts as Bible and what counts as interpretation

    The Olomouc diocesan priest Alois Musil attained the greatest renown among Czech Catholic experts in exegesis. His fame was, however, not specifically in Biblical studies but in another related field, namely Near Eastern languages and literature, also known as Oriental studies, where he went on to become a significant figure. His initial interest, however, lay in Biblical scholarship and source evidence exists to document the fact that he never really abandoned the idea of going back to the Bible as a research scholar. The present article would like to focus on Alois Musil as a Biblical scholar, introduce his ideas, and demonstrate why he felt he had to abandon the sphere of exegesis and devote all his energy to Oriental studies.
