Description
In the mid-3rd century BC, King Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt ordered a translation of the ancient Hebrew scriptures for the Library of Alexandria. The creation of the Septuagint resulted from this order. It is generally accepted that there were several versions of the ancient Hebrew and Samaritan scriptures before the translation of the Septuagint. The final version of the Septuagint was published in 132 BC, which included most of the Wisdom Section. Psalms of Solomon was most-likely added in the 1st-century BC, while Odes, were likely added in the 2nd century AD. Neither of these two books was universally found in the surviving manuscripts, and Odes appears to have originally been an appendix.
In the 3rd-century AD, the entire Septuagint was redacted into the 'Christian' version, in which Jesus created Adam and Eve in Genesis, and the name Iaw was removed from the Septuagint, replaced with kΓ½rios (ΞΊα½»ΟΞΉΞΏΟ), which is generally translated as 'Lord.' This version is compiled from the earliest surviving full copies of the Septuagint: the Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Vaticanus, as well as the partially surviving Codex Sinaiticus, all of which are Christian copies dating to the 4th and 5th-centuries AD. When possible the pre-Christian versions have been reconstructed through comparison to the fragments of the older versions of the Septuagint, such as Rahlfs nos. 801, 802, 803, 805, 819, 848, 942, 943, and 957. This version is not intended as a critical edition, comparing the different surviving versions, but rather an easy-to-read version that restores the Septuagint as much as possible to the original Greek translation created at the Library of Alexandria between 300 and 132 BC. Psalms of Solomon is an exception, as it does not survive in these manuscripts, and therefore alternative sources have been used.
