Septuaginta Deutsch: Third Revised Edition

The definitive German translation of the Septuagint, now thoroughly revised to reflect the latest developments in scholarship.

First published in 2009, Septuaginta Deutsch has become an internationally renowned standard work for theology, philology, and the history of religion, making this challenging text accessible even to non-specialists. The philological translation follows the Greek original closely, while introductions to each biblical book and extensive footnotes help readers understand the text and its historical background.

Septuagint scholarship has advanced considerably over the past fifteen years—reflected, for example, in new volumes of the Göttingen Septuagint—making a thorough revision necessary. That revision is now complete and available in this third edition.

Edited by a team of internationally recognized specialists, including Martin Karrer and Wolfgang Kraus, in collaboration with Eberhard Bons, Kai Brodersen, Heinz-Josef Fabry, Siegfried Kreuzer, Martin Rösel, Helmut Utzschneider, and Florian Wilkall.
