This ground-breaking study in Septuagint translation technique is, after sixty years, finally available to an English-speaking audience. Barthélemy provides us with a first look at the fragments of the Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from the Cave of Horror and embarks on a careful examination of this scroll's place in the history of Septuagint translation and revision. He poses questions and answers that have yet to be fully explored.
Devanciers d'Aquila is described as "epoch-making" (Robert Kraft--
Gnomon), "a stimulating contribution" (Sidney Jellicoe--
Journal of the American Oriental Society), and "a monograph of singular importance" (Geza Vermes-
Journal of Semitic Studies).
