Default Septuagint

Just ordered the Septuagint from amazon.com, mostly to add to my library. But now I will have a copy to refer to and do my own studies with. I'll let you know how it is.

What version did you get, and in which language?

I have these bookmarked:

Introduction to the Septuagint

and Amazon recommends

The Septuagint with Apocrypha: Greek and English by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton (1851)

I have the Amazon recommendation one, the last link you gave. It should be arriving within a couple of days.

In addition, if one desires the modern critical greek text of the septuagint (ie. one that lists variants), I would suggest Rahlfs' Septuaginta which can be easily found on amazon or other booksellers.
