Septuagint and Reception

Septuagint and Reception

By: Johann Cook 

There are basically two aspects to the collection of Greek texts that goes under the name of Septuagint. The Septuagint originated, for the most part, as a translation of a source text. As such it represents a link and a very important one in the reception history of the Hebrew Aramaic scriptures. But the Septuagint very soon turned into a literary and religious reference in its own right. It was quoted as scripture and subjected to commentary. The Septuagint itself now became the starting point for a new reception history. In the workshops of La Bible d’Alexandrie a lot of energy is expended on this latter aspect of the Greek Bible.1 The works of Philo, the New Testament and Patristic literature are scrutinised in order to determine how the Septuagint was read and interpreted in antiquity.
