This posthumous edition of Dr Walters' The Text of the Septuagint
provides a valuable working tool for specialists in Hellenistic and
Classical Greek and the Old and New Testaments. The book is
directed first to the practical task of producing a critical
edition of the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament.
Byzantine and Renaissance scholars both regarded the Greek Old
Testament as belonging to the Church rather than to the heritage of
classical literature which formed the proper object of their
critical endeavours. It was therefore reproduced for centuries in
much the same corrupt form and no complete critical edition was
produced. The present work is a detailed study of the grammatical
corruptions and semitisms in the LXX and is intended to stand as
the prolegomenon to such an edition.
