Nice overview of the Septuagint -- its importance to the NT writers makes
it that much more important in Western Lit, no? Don't forget about the
Dead Sea Scrolls, though. Yes, until the DSS the Masoretic texts were all
we had, and they were about 10th century AD, but the DSS date from the time
of Christ and have full texts of Isaiah and Deuteronomy and, really, most
of the rest of the Protestant Christian OT with a couple exceptions...
from what I understand, the DSS are pretty consistent with the MT (which
had vowel points where the former texts did not, of course), so it looks
like the documents were pretty well preserved.
