This may be considered somewhat off-topic but it does involve the LXX so I
thought I would see if someone can give me some background.
I have been examining the Russian Synodal translation, and it seems to me to
be a translation from the LXX and not from the MT. However, all the copies
I've been able to get my hands on are missing the deuterocanon. I find it a
bit disturbing that someone would value the LXX enough to translate from it,
but then cannibalize it. The titles of the books are not even Russian, they
are transliterated directly from the LXX titles of the books.
Does anyone know anything about the background of this translation, or
whether there is a Russian translation of the deuterocanon? Replies in
private email may be better since this ranges beyond strictly Greek issues
into translation issues.
