Septuaginta: A Reader's Edition offers the complete text of the Greek
Old Testament as it appears in the Rahlfs-Hanhart revised Septuaginta,
laid out in a clear and readable format. All deuterocanonical books are
included, as well as all double-texts, which are presented on facing
pages for easy textual comparison. In order to facilitate natural and
seamless reading of the text, every word occurring 100 times or fewer in
the Rahlfs-Hanhart text (excluding proper names)--as well as every word
that occurs more than 100 times in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text but fewer
than 30 times in the Greek New Testament--is accompanied by a footnote
that provides a contextual gloss for the word and (for verbs only) full
parsing. Additionally, an appendix provides a complete alphabetized list
of common vocabulary (namely, all the words that are not accompanied by
a footnote), with glosses and (as applicable) comparison of a word's
usage in the Septuagint to its usage in the New Testament.
All of these combined features will make Septuaginta: A Reader's Edition
an indispensable resource for biblical scholars and an excellent tool
for improving one's comprehension of the Greek language.
In addition to the attractive and high-quality binding, each volume will
include two ribbon markers.
