Volume one contains the books of Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus. Following Swete’s smaller Septuagint (1887-1894) the running text is that of Codex Vaticanus (B) suplemented by Codex Alexandrinus (A) or another unvial when B is defective. The edition provides an extensive critical apparatus, taking account of numerous uncial manuscripts, fragments, and palimpsests, over sixty cursive manuscripts, a sample lectionary, early daughter versions of the Septuagint, including the Armenian, Bohairic, Sahidic, Ethiopian, Old Latin, Palestinian Aramaic, and Syro-hexapla, and a wide range of Patristic quotations.”
