Brentons’s English LXX Septuagint (Volume 1) original book in PDF

We have provided here the 1844 edition of Sir Brenton’s English translation of the Septuagint (LXX) – which is the Greek Old Testament that dates back to around 300 BC.

This is volume 1 – Genesis to II Chronicles.

Please be advised, that with all ancient texts, one must be careful and view it together with other editions/reprints (in case some text is lost or unreadable due to age etcetera). However, this does not reduce the pleasure of reading the original and ancient texts!




Index of the book (please forgive any unreadable bits: this index is computer generated from ancient texts):

  1. I am looking for an LXX based off of the Majority Text NOT Vaticanus translated into English. Does it exist?

    1. There’s the Lexham LXX which is a literal translation from the Septuagint found with the Dead Sea Scrolls. It’s on Amazon.

    1. Lexham is a modern version that might tick the box – due to its age it is still in copyright so we don’t have it here.
