Septuagint quotations in the New Testament as witnesses to the development and the transmission of the Septuagint text (especially in regard of the quotations in the Synoptic Gospels and the so called Catholic Letters)

作为希伯来圣经的希腊语译本，七十士译本基本上起源于公元前3和2世纪。然而，在公元前1世纪和公元1世纪，有一个修订过程（在不同程度上）正式将原始七十士译本（古希腊语）改编为希伯来语参考文本（按词序改编，用一个相同的希腊词来翻译希伯来语术语，一些特定的词汇等）。正如古希腊语所做的那样，这些修订后的七十士译本也在说希腊语的犹太人中传播开来。这意味着在《新约》（基本上是公元1世纪）诞生的时候，《七十士译本》的希腊文本有两个版本。这就引出了一个问题，不同的作者在引用旧约/七十士译本时所知道并使用的是哪种形式的七十士译本。-到目前为止，尚未考虑到关于七十士译本最早发展的新见解；相反，希腊文本中的差异和与新约引文的一致主要被解释为后来的交叉影响，或者被搁置一边。这个项目的目标是确定七十士译本的哪一种读法是在新约中特定的引文中使用的，以及它属于七十士译本的哪个阶段。同时，这些引语也成为《七十士译本》早期传播的重要证据（比大抄本早几个世纪，甚至比大多数纸莎草纸还要早）。在方法上，辨别七十士译本的变体和新约作者的改编是很重要的。对保罗书信中的引文以及后来引用相同引文的作品的调查表明，这是可能的，而且新约的作品确实反映了上述七十士译本文本的发展。该项目旨在将这项研究扩展到两个重要领域：对观福音书（及其发展和传统与特定作者之间的差异）和所谓的天主教书信加1。克莱门斯（与他们不同类型的经文参考）。将引语置于《七十士译本》的传播历史中，不仅有助于更好地理解《新约》作品中的引语，而且这些引语将证明自己是《七十士译本》最早发展和传播历史的重要见证。

The Septuagint as the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible basically originated in the 3rd and 2nd cent. B.C.E. However, in the 1st cent. B.C.E. and the 1st cent. C.E. there was a revisional process (in varying intensity) that formally adapted the original Septuagint (Old Greek) towards the Hebrew reference text (adaptation in word order, rendering of a Hebrew term by one and the same Greek word only, some specific vocabulary etc.). As the Old Greek had done, also these revised text forms of the Septuagint spread out in the Greek speaking Jewish diaspora. This means that in the time as the New Testament (basically the 1st cent. C.E.) originated, there were two versions of the Greek text of the Septuagint. This leads to the question, which form of the Septuagint was known to and used by the different authors for their quotations from the Old Testament/Septuagint. - So far, the new insights about the earliest development of the Septuagint text have not yet been taken into account; rather, differences within the Greek texts and agreements with the New Testament quotations were mainly explained and/or put aside as later cross influences.The goal of the project is to identify which reading of the Septuagint is taken up in a specific quotation in the New Testament and to which phase of the Septuagint it belongs. At the same time, these quotations become important witnesses to the early transmission of the Septuagint text (several centuries before the large codices and even older than most papyri). Methodologically it will be important to discern between variants within the Septuagint text and adaptations made by the New Testament authors. Investigations on the quotations in the Pauline letters and in later writings with the same quotations have shown that this is possible and that indeed the New Testament writings reflect the above mentioned development of the Septuagint text. The project is intended to expand this research to two important areas: The Synoptic Gospels (with their development and the differences between the tradition and the specific authors) and to the so called catholic epistles plus 1. Clemens (with their different types of scripture references). The placement of the quotations within the transmission history of the Septuagint will not only help for a better understanding of the quotations within the New Testament writings, but the quotations will prove themselves to be important witnesses to the earliest development and transmission history of the Septuagint.
