Alfred Rahlfs' edition of the Septuagint

Alfred Rahlfs' edition of the Septuagint, sometimes called Rahlfs' Septuagint or Rahlfs' Septuaginta, is a critical edition of the Septuagint published for the first time in 1935 by the German philologist Alfred Rahlfs. This edition is the most widely spread edition of the Septuagint.
The full title of this edition is: Septuaginta: id est Vetus Testamentum Graece iuxta LXX interpretes; this edition was first published in 1935, in 2 volumes, by the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, in Stuttgart. Many reprints were made later.
The name of the 2006 revision is known as the Rahlfs-Hanhart, after the revisor Robert Hanhart.

Main codices used

In his edition, Rahlfs used mainly three codices to establish the text: Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrinus, with the Vaticanus as the "leading manuscript".

In 2006, Robert Hanhart edited a revised version of the text, known as the "Editio altera", or "Rahlfs-Hanhart".
The text of this revised edition contains changes in the diacritics. The revised version has only wording changes in two instances: in Isaiah 5:17 and 53:2.
