The Brill Septuagint Studies Collection (2 Vols.) combines the premier introductory text on the Septuagint with thirty-eight collected essays of Emanuel Tov, one of the Septuagint's leading scholars. Together, they function to provide an essential starting point for studying the Septuagint along with more in-depth examinations of specific topics students and scholars may come across in their reading.
Between the two of them, Natalio Fernández Marcos and Emanuel Tov have been studying the Septuagint for a combined total of eighty-eight years. Bringing together these two volumes gives students and scholars easy access to their important contributions to Septuagintal research. Fernández Marcos' volume provides an essential survey on issues regarding the historical context of the Septuagint translation, the linguistic milieu in which it was created, its exegesis, textual history, and relationship to the New Testament. Tov's collection of studies build on all of this helpful information with more in-depth examinations of Septuagint lexicography, translation technique, history, textual criticism, literary criticism, and the Septuagint's relation to the Hebrew text.
