| | Commentary on the Septuagint: Prospectus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | That is to say, though other scholarly work has been undertaken with a focus on the Septuagint at various stages of its reception history or on the original meaning of individual books, a sustained effort, for the whole of the Septuagint, to understand the text at its point of inception remains, we believe, a desideratum. |
 | | It is fully recognized, however, that although the books of the Septuagint have in common certain features of translation and interpretation, the collection as such can best be described as an anthology, rather than a homogeneous whole. |
 | | Yet, for the sake of convenience the term "Septuagint" has been employed in the title of the proposed series as well as in the Prospectus. |
