Synopsis:
Appendix Ad Librum De LXX Interpretibus by Isaac Vossius is a scholarly Latin tract defending the authority and interpretation of the Septuagint (LXX) against Hebrew and Rabbinic sources. In Responsio ad Objectiones, Vossius surveys the reception of the LXX by early Christian exegetes (Origen, Jerome, Justin Martyr, Augustine) and by Rabbinic authorities, arguing for the enduring value of the Greek translation as a faithful vehicle of scriptural sense. He examines the roles of the principal translators Aquila Ponticus, Symmachus, and Theodotion, and engages with Hieronymus’ reception of the text, while addressing questions about Hebrew vocalization, Masoretic letters, and the authority of Hebrew codices versus Greek versions. The work also discusses chronology and textual integrity, the relation of the LXX to Hebrew Scripture in prophecy, and the controversy surrounding rabbinic glosses and paraphrases. This edition preserves the Latin original, offering a lasting resource for scholars of biblical languages, translation history, and patristic exegesis. This is a 17th-century scholarly edition.
