The Greek column of the Hebrew - Chaldee- Sjianish-Greek Polyglot of the Pentateuch, printed at Constantinople in Hebrew characters (1547), has been transliterated and printed separately ( 1S'J7) by D. C. Hesseling, and described by Lazare Belleli (Paris, 1897, La version 7i6ogrec(fue du Pcntateuche Polyglotte). It is of interest tor the student of modem Greek, and so are the translations of the whole Bible or of parts of it into modem Greek ; but they do not fall within the scope of the present article. Of the OT as a whole the Catalogue of the British Museum mentions but one edition in modern Greek (London, 1840, by H. D. Leeves, assisted by N. Bambas).
Literature. — At the end of the article on the Greek Bible Versions (PltE^ iii 20= Urt, 80) tlie present writer has j^ven a list of about 280-300 books and articles treating: of these versions from 1601 up to 1897 in chronological order. Swete gives in his introduction, at the end of most chapters, literary references, amounting to about 600 in number. The first list (i>- 27) em- braces a mere fraction of the vast literature selected for the purj^ose of representing the progress of knowledge since the middle of the 17th cent- It begins with the Critica ^acra o/ S. Cappellus, 1651; Pearson's Praijalio and Ussher's Si/atajma, 1().">3 ; the Prolegomena of Brian Walton, 1857. It is impossible to repeat these lists here. A few remarks must sxitlict The most copious work on O that appeared in the Idth cent, is that of Constantine Oikonomos vt/>i Tur «' I/>u*i>u/Ta>,, 4 vols., Athens, 1844, 1845, 1846, 1S49, more than 3700 paf,'es. Though it starta from wrong premises (canonical and inspired character of 0), it contains much useful information ; in voL iii 130 pages are devoted to the difference of chronology between fl> and O, in the last voL 170 pages to the quotations of the NT, 325 para- graphs to a list of the writers who used or praised O. The author may be compared to Grinfield, whose Apolorpj for the SeptuaqirU (Lond. 1S50) is equally wrong in its principles, hut still useful Of Jewish books L. Frankel's V^orsludiea zu dcr Si'ptuaffinta (Leipzig, 1841) and Ueber den Einjluss der jfaMstinisdien Exer/ese auf die alexandrinisehe Uermeneutik (18.^>1), are not superseded^ A standard work for all times remains, H. Hody, de biblir.rum textibtu oriffinatibus, Oxf. 1705. On the views of the ancient Church, especially Jerome and Augustine, it is useful to compare P. Wendland, ' Zur iiltesten Oeschichte der Bibel in der Kirche' (.i^^Vri)' (1900) 207 ff.). On Augustine see also Joh. Haussleiter, Ver Aufhau der aUchrutt- lichen Litteratur, Eine krilische Uniersuchun<f nehat ^tudicn zu Ci/priati, Victorin^ia und Auguttin (Berlin, \&dS = GGA, 1898, V. 337-379). Of all the scholars of the 19th cent none has done more in this field than Paul de Lagarde (1827-1891). Of his publications which bear directly or indirectly on O, note : Libri apocnjplii syriace 1861, Con^litutione^ Avosudicce 1SG2, Anmerkungen zur griechigchen Ueber^etzung der ^ronerbifn 1803, Clementina 1885 (Preface), Penlateuc/l koplisch 1867, ilatcrialien zum Pentateuch 1807 (here the notice on the original copy of /B)), Genegia grxce and Uierimfnni gucestiones in Gen. 1868, On/imeutiea sacra 1870, 21887, Pmlterivm Uierontfmi 1874, Psalterium memphifictrm 1876, Sipnmicta L and ii., Semitica iL 1879, Orientalia ii., I'eleris tegtamenti ab Ori'jene reoensiti /raginenlff Ib^li, Ankun/lujuitn einer neuen Au^jabe der griecftinchen Ubcrsctzung 1S82, Litrrorwn veteria teKtamenti canonicorutn parft prior grcece 1883 (cf.

Among the MSS he left there is a complete collection of the biblical quotations of Augustine (13,176 from OT and 29,540 from .VT, now in the University Library of Gdttingen), MS Lagarde 34, and others ; see UrU p. 77.
