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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Barclay Swete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108007589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108007580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.36d","brand":"Henry Barclay Swete","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924084064511,"sku":"9781108007580","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ddf83338-3f8f-4c93-9be1-1e27447a0160.jpg?v=1681068379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-the-old-henry-barclay-swete-9781108007580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
