Abstract

The Book of Hosea plays a special role in the life and theology of ancient
Israel. Serving as an opening to the Minor Prophets (the Book of the
Twelve) both in the Hebrew and Greek traditions, it is a source of important
theological interpretations. The article focuses on the Book of Hosea in
the Septuagint. It presents its role in the context of the Greek Book of the
Twelve, together with the manuscripts and critical editions of LXXHos,
indicating the textual richness of this book in antiquity. It also attempts to
show the character of the Greek text, its translation techniques, its omissions
and additions and other aspects, discussing also the dating of the book in
the Greek tradition.

Keywords:
