Synopsis

Unlock the language of the Septuagint with a clear, scholarly guide. This volume presents a focused study of the Greek language used in the Septuagint, exploring how translation shapes form, usage, and meaning in a bilingual Jewish and Christian context. It combines grammar, textual criticism, and linguistic analysis to illuminate how Semitic influence appears in written and spoken Greek.

This edition frames the Septuagint as both a translation and a key source for understanding ancient Greek as it stood in a bilingual milieu. 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.

- Detailed discussion of grammar and textual criticism in the Septuagint
- Examination of orthography, phonetics, and the Semitic element in LXX Greek
- Analysis of nouns, verbs, pronouns, numerals, and other parts of speech
- Focus on proper names, place-names, and country terms as they appear in translation

Ideal for students and readers of biblical languages, classical philology, and religious history who want a precise, reference-ready overview of LXX Greek.
