LXX Manuscript Witnesses

Where the great Septuagint uncials — Vaticanus (B), Sinaiticus (ℵ), and Alexandrinus (A) — diverge at a passage, and why it matters. Each divergence carries a confidence score; not-extant witnesses are flagged.

info LXX text shown where available is the Rahlfs-Hanhart eclectic edition. The manuscript variant analysis (Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus) is drawn from Claude’s training knowledge of the critical apparatus — not a diplomatic transcription. Verify specific readings against the Göttingen Septuaginta and Rahlfs-Hanhart.
