where did the septuagint originate?
The Septuagint (LXX) Here is a little background on the Septuagint. This is from the Preface and Introduction to the Septuagint itself written by Sir Lancelot C.L. The Septuagint (from the Latin septuaginta, meaning seventy, and frequently referred to by the roman numerals LXX) is the Greek translation of the Old Testament.
