The text is based on Codices Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus, with variants noted in the critical apparatus. This edition includes English, German, Latin and Modern Greek Introductions, History of the Septuagint Text and Explanation of Symbols. Significance of the Septuagint (LXX): * The Septuagint is the most ancient translation of the Old Testament and consequently is invaluable to critics for understanding and correcting the Masoretic Text. * The Septuagint was indispensable to the Early Church, serving as its "Bible." New Testament authors and Church Fathers would quote from the Septuagint when quoting the Old Testament. In this way, the LXX was instrumental in spreading the Messianic view of Jesus and propagating the Gospel. Knowledge of the Septuagint lends to a better understanding of the Old and New Testaments. * The Septuagint served as the basis for the ancient Latin translations, that is, the Old Latin Vulgate. * The Septuagint was important to Jews before the time of Christ--it helped Diaspora Jews who did not speak Hebrew still remain faithful to their religion, as well as allowing Gentiles to study Judaism. * The Septuagint was important to early Christians--it helped inform their Messianic view of Christ and shaped the theology of the early Church. * The Septuagint was important to the Catholic Church as it was the basis for the Old Latin Vulgate editions.

 Rating:  - SeptuagintaMy order arrived and it is good. I am particularly glad that Amazon offerred to send a replacement when the first order did not arrive. I recommend whoever intends to buy books online to always do so through Amazon.com. Rating:  - Convenience vs. comfortThe books produced by the German Bible Society (marketed in the U.S. by Hendrickson) are always superbly well made, and this LXX edition is no exception. It is also small enough to easily take with you, though a bit thick for pocket carry. Unfortunately, the efficiency of size has been taken to an extreme where I believe it defeats the purpose. If all you want is to use the LXX as a reference, to look up how a particular Hebrew word was translated, this will do fine. If however, you want to _read_ ... Read More Rating: - Brian from HullThe here presented new edition of Alfred Rahlfs's critical pocket-edition is not a fundamentally revised edition, but a moderate revision of the first edition published in 1935 by the Privileged Wurttemberg Bible Society in Stuttgart. Any potential buyer should be aware that this is a pocket-edition which has relatively small font, although its content(2200pages)largely retains an original Rahlfs's septuaginta in 1935 with a small revision. Rating: - Some suggested books and websites to accompany this volumeAs far as actually reviewing this version of the Septuagint (LXX), there isn't much more I can say than what the last reviewer mentioned. This volume is eminently readable due to the clear font and font size, it is portable, and it is the best available version of the LXX at this time (the Goettingen Septuagint, which is composed of more-recent [than Rahlfs] critical editions of most books in the LXX and is preferred by most scholars, is not readily available outside of the academic world). Read More Rating: - BUY THIS!This is an excellent copy of the Septuagint. Excellent font. Beautifully bound. I concur what the other reviewers stated. It is indeed another masterpiece from Stuttgart, Germany. If you want an excelent copy of the Greek Old Testament to study, or want a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures, this is the one!
