The Septuagint - the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible - was an influential translation for Jews and Christians of the first century. When the New Testament writers quoted the Old Testament, they most often used the Septuagint (abbreviated LXX) translation. Thus the vocabulary and thought forms of the LXX had a significant impact on the development of New Testament theology. Although the LXX and the New Testament were both written in Koine Greek, much of their vocabulary and word forms are different. Thus students and scholars who desire to read the LXX need a reliable reference guide that will help them decode the host of word forms and meanings that go beyond New Testament Greek. The Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint lists alphabetically every Greek word form found in the standard Rahlfs LXX text, along with a detailed parsing of each form. Besides correcting errors found in the previous (1994) edition, this expanded edition also includes basic glosses (definitions) for each Greek word from Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint, compiled by Johan Lust, Erik Eynikel, and Katrin Hauspie. These glosses are translation equivalents rather than technical definitions, and provide literal meanings as well as metaphorical ones. In many cases, the glosses are accompanied by grammatical and contextual information that sheds additional light on the word's meaning. The combination of the exhaustive grammatical analysis of the Analytical Lexicon and the helpful glosses of the Greek-English Lexicon make this expanded edition an indispensible tool for everyone engaged in the study of the Septuagint.

In recent years international trade in Cameroon and OHADA States has been on the rise which has led not only to increase in trade but has also led to more trade disputes necessitating a solution. Commercial arbitration has become the desired method to resolve these disputes. However, there are few legal practitioners and magistrates in Cameroon who are versed with the law and practice of arbitration. This has created a legal vacuum in this very important area of the law. This book therefore serves as a guide to enforcement of arbitral awards in Cameroon and related arbitration issues. Legal practitioners, magistrates and the business community especially foreign investors shall have within their grasp the various procedures for the enforcement of arbitral awards, the competent jurisdictions to hear applications for the enforcement or nullification of arbitral awards in Cameroon. The book also gives the reader a basic understanding of some concepts of arbitration and also looks into the grounds for the refusal of enforcement of arbitral awards under the Uniform Act on Arbitration 1999 and the New York Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958.
