‎Summary The phenomenon of the Septuagint is a matter of interest for several areas of research - not only for Old Testament scholars, but also for researchers of Hellenistic Judaism, patristic exegesis, translation theory and practice, and others. What they all have in common is the text of the Septuagint. Unfortunately, the research is often so compartmentalized that scholars do not know about each other's work and cannot profit from it. The aim of the conference "The Septuagint: Multilateral Focus on the Text" was to bring together scholars studying the text of the Septuagint in its various aspects: its reconstruction, peculiarities of language, and lexical semantics in their relationship with the Semitic background and within the Greek-speaking world, whether Jewish or Christian. These different approaches to the same matter are bound to lead to mutual enrichment. TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface (Helena Panczová) I. Lexis of the Septuagint 1.
