The volume deals with several different aspects of the parallelismus membrorum. Following a discussion on the issues surrounding a noetic performance of parallelism, two contributions discuss the connections between parallelism and sentence and new tendencies in parallelism research. A focus on the neologism of parallelisms in the Septuagint is followed by contributions on parallelisms in Ugarit, Egypt, and ancient Babylonia New perspectives are opened in regards to parallelism in visual imagery and in Chinese literature. A large bibliography concludes the volume.>
