| Summary: | This revised version of a doctoral dissertation bridges to some degree the work of the ‘Finnish school’ of Septuagint translation technique and the work of Trevor Evans (Verbal Syntax in the Greek Pentateuch, 2001). However, the sheer variety of ways of expressing conditional constructions in both Hebrew and Greek makes this a particularly challenging enterprise., The present book is by far the most thorough study of conditionals within the translated books of the LXX. It is appropriately limited to the Pentateuch, the part of the LXX likely to have been the first to be rendered into Greek. Thus the LXX Pentateuch reflects the original translators’ efforts to represent a very different syntactical system, and was foundational for the treatment of other LXX books. |
