For a discussion on the text traditions of the Septuagint see Jellicoe, The
Septuagint and Modern Study.  He outlines all of the major manuscipts and a
history of the text transmission.  He also outlines the various theories on
the original text.

For the same discussion of the MT see Tov, Textual Criticism of the Hebrew
Bible.
