Maurice, Denny Diehl here
You mentioned that to comment on various versions of the
Septuagint would be a huge undertaking, which, indeed, is
correct. However, I was looking for something a little less
tasking. I happened to find the following (which is simplistic
in itself) but helps to serve in understanding the situation in
Jerome's time. I post it just in case someone might also be
interested:
Jerome makes mention of three different versions of the
Septuagint in Preface To Chronicles:
"Alexandria and Egypt in their Septuagint acclaim
Hesychius as their authority, the region from
Constantinople to Antioch approves the copies of
Lucian the martyr, the intermediate Palestinian
provinces read the MSS which were promulgated
by Eusebius and Pamphilius on the basis of Origen's
labors, and the whole world is divided among these
three varieties of texts."
