=================================================
Let me see if I can clear up your reading of the Rahlfs apparatus to Isa
45:19.The 2 with the superscript o means the second occurence of EGW EIMI,
the > means "is omitted by" S = Sinaiticus, the superscript c after it
means the corrector of the Synaiticus, while the Italic C means, as Kevin
noted the recension in the"Catena magna in prophetas inventa," id est the
great Latin commentary that is a chain (hence the Latin catena) of
citations from earlier commentaires. That means that you would need to find
the edition, look up the passage, determine who is cited, and then date
that scholar to evaluate the significance.
Unlike Kevin, I think the apparatus is clear, provided one looks at the
list of abbreviations. Unfortunately, the key to the abbreviation printed
in the preface does not list the Rescensions of the text cited in the
apparatus; that is only on the separately printed "Explanatio Signorum"
--and there only in untranslated Latin. If you still have that separate
sheet, tip it into the real of your LXX with a bit of glue so that yhou
don't lose it. It's more complete than the liste in the bound pages.
