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 (glossary) 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.These features combine to 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 of the two volumes include two ribbon markers.Septuaginta: A Reader?s Edition comes complete in two volumes: Volume one covers Genesis through 4 Maccabees Volume two covers Psalms through Bel and the Dragon
