The Septuagint is the only extant Greek translation from a Hebrew MSS that is currently lost to us. The Greek Septuagint and its Autograph, were extensively used before the Christian era as has been testified to by historians and many similarities manifest in the Dead Sea Scrolls. During the age of the Messiah and the Apostles it appears they exclusively used either the Greek Septuagint or its Autograph as is demonstrated by the parallels found in their quotes from the Hebrew Scriptures [O.T]. The Septuagint persevered into the age of the early Church Fathers where after it inexplicably fell into disuse. This is a fresh approach to Sir Brenton's translation, in that this it restores the original Hebrew Names as found in the Masoretic Text. While this approach may seem like a glaring paradox it may however be reasoned that a more satisfying though not perfect English translation has subsequently evolved.

Brenton's Septuagint, Apocrypha, in modern English delivers the Apocrypha that the New Testament writers read and was that the authoritive Scripture of the early Church. Adding the original Hebrew names gives this work the same flavor of Hebrew Scripture that the Messiah and his disciples heard and read. Most importantly the name of our Creator has been restored. 140 pages printed in large type on brilliant white bond paper ensures ultimate readability and is comfortably portable.

A diligent study of the Book of Enoch reveals that many 'Old Testament' writers not only had access to the book but knew it intimately. Many of the Messiah's teachings appear remarkably similar to the Two Ways found in the Book of Enoch. The early first century followers of 'The Way' respected the Book of Enoch and used it, as is demonstrated by the Bible writes Jude's quotation from the book. The Ante-Nicene Fathers had access to the Book of Enoch and not only valued it, but also most considered it a sacred writing. This book is an theological introduction to the book of Enoch dealing with its reliability and antiquity. It further reveals a deeper understanding of the Book of Enoch, and demonstrates a few allegories contained therein.

A slightly revised edition of L.C.L. Brenton's famous English translation of the Septuagint so as to better reflect the underlying LXX Greek text. - Papoutsis Publishing.

Vols. for 1871-76, 1913-14 include an extra number, The Christmas bookseller, separately paged and not included in the consecutive numbering of the regular series.

This edition contains the entire LXX (Septuagint) Old Testament in English translation - including the Apocryphal books. The earliest version (translation) of the Old Testament Scriptures which is extant, or of which we possess any certain knowledge, is the translation executed at Alexandria in the third century before the Christian era: this version has been so habitually known by the name of the SEPTUAGINT, that the attempt of some learned men in modern times to introduce the designation of the Alexandrian version (as more correct) has been far from successful. The fact may, however, be regarded as certain, that prior to the year 285 B.C. the Septuagint version had been commenced, and that in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, either the books in general or at least an important part of them had been completed.
