The authors of the essays collected in this volume are concerned with the Jewish transmission and use of Greek translations of the biblical books from Late Antiquity to the early modern period. The volume represents the first attempt to bring together contributions from specialists in a variety of areas, including not only biblical and Jewish studies but also such disciplines as epigraphy and Byzantine history and literature, to investigate the implications of this newly-discovered subject. The essays address some of the ways in which Greek-speaking Jews kept alive a tradition of Greek biblical scholarship going back to ancient times, and how this tradition impinged on Christian biblical scholarship.With contributions by:James Aitken, Philip Alexander, Patrick Andrist, Silvia Cappelletti, Dries De Crom, Saskia Dönitz, Natalio Fernández Marcos, William Horbury, David Jacoby, T.
