Alfred Rahlfs' edition of the Septuagint, sometimes called Rahlfs' Septuagint or Rahlfs' Septuaginta, is a critical edition of the Septuagint published for the first time in 1935 by the German philologist Alfred Rahlfs.[1] This edition is the most widely spread edition of the Septuagint.[2]

The full title of this edition is: Septuaginta: id est Vetus Testamentum Graece iuxta LXX interpretes; this edition was first published in 1935, in 2 volumes, by the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, in Stuttgart.[3] [4] Many reprints were made later.

The name of the 2006 revision is known as the Rahlfs-Hanhart, after the revisor Robert Hanhart.

Main codices used

In his edition, Rahlfs used mainly three codices to establish the text: Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus, with the Vaticanus as the "leading manuscript".[5]

Revision

In 2006 Robert Hanhart edited a revised version of the text, known as the "Editio altera", or "Rahlfs-Hanhart".[6] [7] [8] The text of this revised edition contains only changes in the diacritics and two wording changes in Isaiah 5:17 and 53:2 (Is 5:17 ἀπειλημμένων became ἀπηλειμμένων, and Is 53:2 ἀνηγγείλαμεν became by conjecture ἀνέτειλε μένὰ).
