Abstract:
The chapter presents the current situation of translations of the Septuagint in European languages. The focus lies on the following projects: La Bible d’Alexandrie, the New English Translation of the Septuagint, Septuaginta Deutsch, La Biblia griega—Septuaginta, La Bibbia dei Settanta. The first section addresses general features of these translations, the second section deals with methodological decisions underlying the translations, the third focuses on specific problems of translating the Septuagint (Hebraisms, Greek of Ptolemaic Egypt, difficult expressions). Finally, the fourth section touches upon notes and comments on Septuagint translations.
