Greek was widely used by Jews in the eastern Mediterranean, from

Alexander the Great until the Holocaust. However, its role in the

translation of Hebrew Scripture for Jewish communities has not received

sustained attention. The European Seminar in Advanced Jewish Studies,

held at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies in 2009 provided

an international scholarly forum on the subject. The papers in this

volume represent the fruits of the residential workshop. They cover

biblical textual criticism, the later Jewish Greek revisions, rabbinic

attitudes towards Scripture in Greek, early Christian views of Jewish

Greek versions, imperial legislation on Jews and the public reading of

Scripture, Greek loanwords in rabbinic literature, and medieval Greek

biblical glosses in Jewish manuscripts.
