This is a Companion to dip into and enjoy especially if you too follow the Septuagint in reading the Old Testament ... Well worth having.

Theology

This valuable resource could be called a 'handbook', because it is a one-volume, book-by-book introduction to the Septuagint ... It contains a wealth of information for students of the Septuagint. It is concise yet thorough, scholarly yet reasonably priced, and every LXX scholar, as well as every Old Testament and New Testament scholar, should have a handbook like this in their library to consult as the first step when they have questions about books in the Septuagint.

Journal of Theological Studies

This Companion succeeds in offering its readers a useful tool to approach the Septuagint for the first time, summing up the key aspects of the texts, as well as the research methods adopted by researchers.

Adamantius (Bloomsbury translation)

Makes the Septuagint much more accessible to non-specialists…all the entries will prove helpful introductions to the translation styles and textual issues of the books in question.

Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly

This is just about everything one could wish for in a handbook. From beginning to end it is clear, up-to-date, wide-ranging, and authoritative. The format-detailed book-by-book introductions-is a much-needed convenience.

This volume fills a real gap in biblical scholarship, by characterizing the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, book by book. Nothing like this has hitherto existed. This is a most useful book.
