      This is excellent material, thank you. Perhaps you would like to add to the book list The Septuagint Understanding the Bible and Its World – UBW by Jennifer Dines ISBN: 0567084647 Continuum, 2004

    2. Thanks for this. I am not aware of an electronic version of Dines’ book – if you have a link, could you pass it on to us? Thanks!
