Unlock the language of the Septuagint with a clear, scholarly guide.

It surveys the period and transformations of the Greek Pentateuch, the ordering of translated books, and the characteristic features that distinguish LXX Greek from other Greek corpora. The work emphasizes practical, evidence-based discussion of grammar, orthography, phonetics, and accidence, with attention to names, places, and idioms.
