Abstract
The following analysis, originally prepared in 1975, describes the need for a LXX lexicon and analyzes some theoretical and practical problems connected with LXX lexicography. The LXX is of importance for the study of not only the Bible, the intertestamental literature, and the New Testament, but also of the sources which depend on the LXX such as the Church Fathers and the translations made from the LXX. The absence of a LXX lexicon is felt especially in view of the relatively large number of adequate tools which are available for the study of the LXX and in view of the existence of lexica in related areas. The lexicon is to be used by scholars specializing in the Hebrew Bible, intertestamental literature, New Testament, Patristics, Jewish Hellenism, and Greek linguistics. A lexicographer analyzes words in languages and literatures with the ultimate aim of describing their meanings in a dictionary.Keywords: church fathers; Hebrew bible; intertestamental literature; Jewish hellenism; LXX lexicon; New Testament
