Henry Barclay Swete (1835 1917) published An Introduction to the
Old Testament in Greek in 1900 as a manual to accompany his
three-volume edition of the Septuagint (1887 1894) and to provide a
guide through the vast corpus of Septuagint literature. Part 1
covers the textual history of the Septuagint, providing an in-depth
analysis of its complex tradition, surveying the most important
Greek witnesses and the earliest versions. Part 2 discusses the
Alexandrian manuscript tradition, and covers the order and grouping
of books, titles, comparison with the Hebrew Canon, and the textual
divisions used in the manuscripts. Part 3 is concerned with the
influence and use of the Septuagint in later works. An appendix
contains the letter of pseudo-Aristeas with an introduction
explaining the forgery. For over a century Swete's work has been an
indispensable tool for every scholar and student of the Septuagint.
