Regarding NT Quotes from LXX

Jim West Wrote:
<<<<Its not really that simple. Some of the quotations in the NT from the 
OT are clearly from the LXX. Most, however, are not from any version of the 
LXX known to us. Does this mean that the writer is using a different 
version of the LXX, making a translation of the Hebrew himself, quoting 
from memory and doing a rather bad job of it, or merely loosely 
paraphrasing with no intention of really quoting at all? Is he alluding or 
quoting? Is he using a text before him or a little booklet of texts?>>>>

Are not some quotes of the OT in the NT from Talmudic and other Jewish 
sources as well?
