Septuagint in Context

The Septuagint, the first translation — or as Fernández Marcos points out, a “collection of translations”— of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek figures prominently in both the history of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. In this second, revised edition of the successful Spanish translation, Natalio Fernández Marcos introduces readers to the origin of the Septuagint in its earliest versions (Aquila, Theodotian, and Symmachus) and traces the fundamental issues associated with Septuagint studies. Published with financial support from the Dirección General del Libro, Archivos y Bibliothecas del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura, Spain. The Septuagint in Context is also available in hardback (ISBN 90 04 11574 9)
