Researching LXX of Amos


Bob Kuo

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

 

For a Greek independent study this summer I will be investigating the translation style of Amos in LXX. I currently have the premier version of the Scholar's edition and was wondering what other modules I should pick up. Probably the MT-LXX add-on and also the NETS translation. I'm wondering - should pick up Swete's apparatus? Also, this is my first foray into Septuagint studies, I'd appreciate any suggestions on directions I should go with my study.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

You will only need the MT-LXX Parallel not the add-on since you have the LXX. NETS is a great resource. Our Swete does not yet include Amos. I'll leave it to scholars to comment on what other resources you might want.

Bob,

 

As far as Accordance modules, the premier scholar's and MT-LXX Parallel are what you need. You might also check out these print resources for your study:

 

 

Aejmelaeus, Anneli. On the Trail of the Septuagint Translators: Collected Essays. Kampen: Kok Pharos Publishing House, 1993.

 

Olofsson, Staffan. God Is My Rock: A Study of Translation Technique and Theological Exegesis in the Septuagint. Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell International, 1990.

 

Yi, Yun Yeong. Translation Technique of the Greek Ecclesiastes. PhD diss., The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2005.

 

These will help get you started on ideas of how to proceed and what to look for. It's a fascinating study.
