The 25 papers--20 in English, the rest in German or French--include nearly all the presentations at the conference, some related to each other by having been delivered in sequence or part of the same dedicated panel. Among the topics are new Hexaplaric data for the Book of Canticles as discovered in the Catene, translation equivalence in the prologue to the Greek Ben Sirach, the Jerusalem temple seen in 2 Samuel according to the Masoretic text and the Septuagint, the Constantinople Pentateuch within the context of Septuagint studies, and translating the Greek text of Jeremiah. There is no index. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the book and distributes the paperbound edition; Brill distributes the clothbound edition.
