“Septuagint” denotes books related to the ancient Koine Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), widely used by Greek-speaking Jews and the early church. This category includes primary texts (critical Greek editions, facsimiles, interlinear and parallel volumes, and modern translations based on the LXX) and secondary resources (introductions, commentaries, study guides). It also covers scholarship on the Septuagint’s origins, manuscripts, and canon—including the deuterocanonical/apocryphal books—along with works on its translation techniques, theology, and reception in Judaism and Christianity. Comparative studies with the Masoretic Text, Dead Sea Scrolls, and New Testament quotations, as well as LXX-focused lexicons, grammars, and studies of individual books, fit within this category.
