Which part of Isaiah predates roughly 700 BCE?  If i recall, the oldest
copies in Greek from the area of the Dead Sea date to the second century
BCE.  Third Isaiah was composed sometime after the exile-- roughly 450 BCE.
Second Isaiah was perhaps composed a century earlier... and first Isaiah
(1-39) was most likely compiled around 590 or so...
