Abstract

The translation techniques employed by the Septuagint translators have recently awakened new interest. During the last decades a steady stream of scholarly works on the subject have appeared, but a comprehensive study is still lacking. In the present work, the author attempts to fill this need. employed by the LXX translators, with illuminating examples. While the main emphasis is on the translation technique, other important aspects of Septuagint studies are covered as well. Abundant references to modern scholarly studies on the Septuagint are given.
