Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Handbook to the Septuagint This handbook deals with the oldest translation of the Hebrew Scriptures; older than the New Testament, and written in the same language. Very naturally, therefore, the Old and New Testaments in Greek came together to form the Bible of the early Christian Church. For five centuries or so this version of the Old Testament was dominant; translations into other languages were, as a rule, made from it, and not from the Hebrew, until the Vulgate appeared. It is only the Bible´s due that the better translations of it have ranked, side by side with original works, among the world´s great literature; but the Septuagint counted for generations of men almost as the sacred original itself. Yet its makers, excepting only the grandson of the author of Ecclesiasticus, are anonymous and unknown; they have won no such personal repute as Jerome, Wiclif, Luther, or Coverdale. But their work exercised for long years an influence which it is hardly possible to over-rate, until the Vulgate prevailed, not directly over the Greek Version itself, but over its Latin daughter-version.
