The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible and the
scriptures read by early Christians. Septuagint studies have been a
growth field in the past twenty years. It has become an area of
interest not only for textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible but as
a product of Judaism in the Graeco-Roman world. It is even being
utilized occasionally by scholars of Greek religion. At the same
time renewed interest in the daughter versions (Syriac, Vulgate,
Ethiopic, Coptic etc.) has thrown new attention onto the
Septuagint. This "Companion" provides a cutting-edge survey of
scholarly opinion on the Septuagint text of each biblical book. It
covers the characteristics of each Septuagint book, its translation
features, origins, text-critical problems and history. As such it
provides a comprehensive companion to the Septuagint, featuring
contributions from experts in the field.
