This book needs desperately to be replaced. Which is why you need it.

It needs to be replaced because the first edition is more than a century old, and even the revised edition is up to the century mark and is not by the original author. The information it contains is dreadfully out of date.

And yet... there really isn't anything to replace it. The Septuagint -- the earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible -- is the Old Testament of the Orthodox Church. Even for the other Christian churches, it has great importance, because it is the only real "control" on the Hebrew Bible -- the only other ancient tradition of Hebrew books, allowing us to correct any corruptions and corrections made by the early Jewish scribes. Thus any serious student of the Hebrew Bible needs to know and understand the Septuagint.

Which obviously means that we need scholars who know and understand the Septuagint. Which means that they need textbooks. And -- there aren't any. Not really. Not good enough. For many aspects of the topic, such as a discussion of the manuscripts, this is still the best there is.

In a perfect world, Swete would have been replaced by now. Since the world is imperfect -- you still need it.
