The Septuagint within the History of Greek
An International Research Network
The Septuagint within the History of Greek (SHG) is an international research network dedicated to advancing our understanding of the language of the Septuagint within the broader history of Greek. The network seeks to approach the Septuagint as a Greek text in its own right, examining its linguistic characteristics in relation to the developments, conventions, and varieties of Post-Classical Greek.
Bringing together scholars working in Septuagint studies, Greek linguistics, papyrology, epigraphy, and related fields, SHG aims to foster interdisciplinary research and international collaboration. Particular attention is given to linguistic variation and change, the relationship between translated and non-translated Greek, and the cultural and sociolinguistic contexts in which the Septuagint was produced and received. Through conferences, publications, and other scholarly initiatives, the network seeks to contribute both to Septuagint scholarship and to our understanding of the history of the Greek language.
