Grammatical commentary on Ecclesiastes?

Post by Jonathan Robie »

Is there a good commentary on the grammar of the Septuagint version of Ecclesiastes?

Bonus points for something freely available online ...

For the Grammar of the Septuagint generally, I suggest Thackeray, available at archive.org and Google Books and http://www.oldinthenew.org/pdf/thackeray.pdf
I translated Ecclesiastes for the Lexham English Septuagint, so I may be able to answer specific questions as well.
