Author Description

""A Handbook to the Septuagint"" is a comprehensive guide to the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Septuagint. Written by Richard Rusden Ottley and first published in 1920, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the Septuagint's history, language, and content. The author explores the origins of the Septuagint, its relationship to the Hebrew Bible, and its influence on early Christianity. He also examines the linguistic features of the Septuagint, including its vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, and provides numerous examples of how these features differ from those of classical Greek. In addition, the book includes detailed discussions of individual books of the Septuagint, such as Genesis, Exodus, and the Psalms, as well as a comprehensive bibliography and index. This handbook is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the Septuagint and its place in the history of biblical interpretation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
