Editing Septuagint (section)

=== Print editions ===
The text of all print editions is derived from the recensions of Origen, Lucian, or Hesychius:
* The ''[[editio princeps]]'' is the [[Complutensian Polyglot Bible]]. Based on now-lost manuscripts, it is one of the received texts used for the KJV (similar to ''[[Textus Receptus]]'') and seems to convey quite early readings.<ref name=Ziegler>Joseph Ziegler, "Der griechische Dodekepropheton-Text der Complutenser Polyglotte", ''Biblica'' 25:297–310, cited in Würthwein1995.</ref>
* The {{Interlanguage link|Walton Polyglot|lt=Brian Walton Polyglot|it|Bibbia Poliglotta di Walton|WD=}} by [[Brian Walton (bishop)|Brian Walton]] is one of the few versions that includes a Septuagint not based on the Egyptian Alexandria-type text (such as Vaticanus, Alexandrinus and Sinaiticus), but follows the majority which agree (like the Complutensian Polyglot).
* The [[Aldine Bible|Aldine edition]] (begun by [[Aldus Manutius]]) was published in Venice in 1518. The editor says that he collated ancient, unspecified manuscripts, and it has been reprinted several times.
* The [[Roman Septuagint|Roman or Sixtine Septuagint]],<ref name=Zannetti1587>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UMBIAAAAcAAJ |title=He palaia diatheke etc. Vetus testamentum juxta septuaginta ex auctoritate Sixti V. ed |year=1587 |publisher=Franciscus Zannetti |language=el}}</ref> which uses ''[[Codex Vaticanus]]'' as the base text and later manuscripts for the [[Lacuna (manuscripts)|lacunae]] in the [[Uncial script|uncial manuscript]]. It was published in 1587 under the direction of [[Antonio Carafa (cardinal)|Antonio Carafa]], with the help of Roman scholars [[Gugliemo Sirleto]], [[Antonio Agelli]] and [[Petrus Morinus]] and by the authority of Sixtus V, to assist revisers preparing the Latin Vulgate edition ordered by the Council of Trent. It is the ''[[textus receptus]]'' of the Greek Old Testament and has been published in a number of editions, such as: those of [[Robert Holmes (priest)|Robert Holmes]] and [[James Parsons (clergyman)|James Parsons]] (Oxford, 1798–1827), the seven editions of [[Constantin von Tischendorf]] which appeared at Leipzig between 1850 and 1887 (the last two published after the death of the author and revised by Nestle), and the four editions of [[Henry Barclay Swete]] (Cambridge, 1887–95, 1901, 1909). A detailed description of this edition has been made by H. B. Swete in ''An Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek'' (1900), pp.&nbsp;174–182.
* Grabe's edition was published in Oxford from 1707 to 1720 and reproduced, imperfectly, the [[Codex Alexandrinus]] of London. For partial editions, see [[Fulcran Vigouroux]], ''Dictionnaire de la Bible'', 1643 and later.
* [[Alfred Rahlfs' edition of the Septuagint]]. [[Alfred Rahlfs]], a Septuagint researcher at the [[University of Göttingen]], began a manual edition of the Septuagint in 1917 or 1918. The completed ''Septuaginta'', published in 1935, relies mainly on the ''Vaticanus'', ''[[Sinaiticus]]'' and ''[[Alexandrinus]]'' and presents a critical framework with variants from these and several other sources.<ref name=Rahlfs1935>Rahlfs, A. (ed.). (1935/1979). ''Septuaginta.'' Stuttgart: [[Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft]].</ref>
* The [[Göttingen Septuagint]] ''(Septuaginta: Vetus Testamentum Graecum)'', a critical version in multiple volumes published from 1931 to the present, is not yet complete; the largest missing parts are the historical books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles), Proverbs and Song of Songs, as well as a new edition of Psalms. Its two critical apparatuses present variant readings in the Old Greek text and variants of the other Greek recensions (i.e., the Hexapla, Theodotion, Symmachus, Aquilla, Lucian).<ref name=IOSCSeditions>{{cite web |url=http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/ioscs/editions.html |title=Critical Editions of Septuagint/Old Greek Texts |website=IOSCS |publisher=U Penn}}</ref>
