Not at all to disparage Mr. Septuagint, but just to call attention to
another little work which may possibly not even be in print any more:
Ralph Klein, _Textual Criticism of the Old Testament from the Septuagint
to Qumran_. I knew Ralph when he taught (as a colleague of Edgar Krentz)
at our neighboring institution here, Concordia Seminary.
