[Ken Penner <kpenner AT stfx.ca>]

Before the thread closes, I will share some relevant data I have collected. I do not feel inclined to interpret these data or draw conclusions on this list.

Here is a list of the oldest manuscripts of the LXX, in chronological order. I hope the formatting comes through the listserve.

The first column has the number Rahlfs and Fraenkel gave the manuscript for the Goettingen editions of the Septuagint. The next column provides its number in the Leuven Database of Ancient Books. The third column has the manuscript name as a link to images provided by this database; the data and contents columns are also taken from the LDAB. In the final column has a note on the treatment of the Tetragrammaton.

 

Rahlfs	LDAB	Manuscript	Date	Contents	Tetragrammaton
819	3458	4Q122	BC 199 - 150	Deuteronomium 11.4	Not preserved
957	3459	P. Rylands 458	BC 199 - 100	Deuteronomium 23-28 passim	Blank spaces
805	3456	7QLXXEx	BC 100 about	Exodus 28.4-7	Not preserved
801	3454	4QLXXLeva	BC 99 - AD 99	Leviticus 26.1-16	Not preserved
804	3460	7QLXXEpJer	BC 99 - 1	Jeremias, letter

802	3452	4QLXXLevb	BC 99 - 1	Leviticus 1-5	ἰάω

If anyone wants to continue this work, you will find Bob Kraft's page helpful: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rak//earlylxx/earlypaplist.html

It provides Rahlfs and LDAB numbers, and some description of the form of the tetragrammaton in each manuscript.

The LDAB is at http://www.trismegistos.org/ldab/

I've found in this thread much to think about, so I thank the moderators for allowing it to continue so far.  But, at this point, hasn't it run its course?  Haven't all the participants already made their points?  Isn't it time to put an end to it???
