Studium Biblicum Franciscanum (SBF), Latin for 'Franciscan Biblical Studies', is a Franciscan academic society based in Jerusalem. It is a center of biblical and archaeological research and studies, established by the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.

Organization

edit

In 1901, the Custody of the Holy Land started envisaging the creation of a biblical studies institute in Jerusalem, which led in 1924 to the establishment of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum.[1][2] The SBF is since 2001 the Faculty for Biblical Sciences and Archaeology of the Pontifical University Antonianum, the Franciscan university in Rome. Its main seat is the Flagellation Monastery in the Via DolorosainJerusalem.[3][4]

It has a branch in Hong Kong, founded in Beijing in 1945 by Blessed Gabriele Allegra, which produced the first complete translation of the Catholic Bible in Chinese in 1968 after a 40-year effort; the Studium Biblicum Translation is often considered the Chinese Bible among Catholics.[5]

The Studium has good relationships with the Dominican École Biblique, also located in Jerusalem.[6]

Publications

edit

The SBF publishes a number of scientific publications: the theological-archaeological journal Liber Annuus ISSN 0081-8933 with scientific articles in different languages,[7] and the series "Collectio Maior", "Collectio Minor", "Analecta" and "Museum".[8]

The SBF uses the services of the Franciscan Printing Press (est. 1847).

Research and studies

edit

The SBF offers two academic degrees,[2] the Licentiate and the Doctorate in Biblical Sciences and Archaeology, a diploma in biblical-oriental sciences, a biblical diploma, and a philosophical-theological curriculum in the "Studium Theologicum Jerosolymitanum“. The language of teaching is Italian.

Fields of study and research are Old and New Testament exegesis, biblical and Christian history, biblical and Middle Eastern languages, and biblical archaeology with several excavations conducted by the SBF. The main discoveries are exhibited in a museum, including the oldest Georgian Bir el Qutt inscriptions.[9]

The library contains appr. 50.000 volumes and 420 journals in the areas of archaeology, biblical studies, Christian and Jewish history, and ancient travel accounts of the Holy Land.[10]
