Its completeness makes it valuable not only as a textbook, but also as a reference tool for those working in the Septuagint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In bringing together the principal features of twentieth-century Septuagint studies, the author provides a wealth of valuable information. The first part of the book traces the origins and transmission history of the LXX. The second part moves to a discussion of the various LXX manuscripts, versions, and critical editions, along with a brief discussion of language and style. The appendixes, bibliography, and various indexes increase the resource value of this volume.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
