Each of those posts contains additional explication of Göttingen, so the one who is new to it may want to pause here to read more there.
BIBLEWORKS VS ACCORDANCE HOW TO
In part 2 I explained how to understand the first critical apparatus, here. In part 1 I wrote about the reconstructed Greek critical text and the source list (full post is here). In two previous posts I wrote a primer on how to read and understand the Göttingen Septuagint.
Publication of additional volumes, while slow-going, is in progress. The Göttingen Septuagint has published over 20 volumes covering some 40 biblical books (counting the minor prophets as 12). It’s published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht in Göttingen, Germany. The full name is Septuaginta: Vetus Testamentum Graecum Auctoritate Academiae Scientiarum Gottingensis editum. In celebration of International Septuagint Day Friday, here I review the Göttingen Septuagint in Logos Bible Software. I do suspect, however, that if one finds it challenging to learn how to read the leading critical edition of the Hebrew Bible–the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia or BHS–the Göttingen Septuagint will prove even more difficult to decipher. Not just a city in Germany, but a word that instills awe and fear in the hearts of every student of the Septuagint who must eventually consult the set of Old Greek editions by that name.
