The Meaning of the Letter of Aristeas: in light of biblical interpretation and grammatical tradition, and with reference to its historical context (2015) is a book by Ekaterina D. Matusova.
Abstract
"Ekaterina Matusova offers a new, independent and accurate interpretation of the text of the Letter of Aristeas. She connects it with a very broad circle of papyrological, literary and epigraphic sources and extensively refers to the "extra-canonical" biblical compositions from the Qumran library. She not only suggests a historical place for the text within Egyptian Judaism, but also connects the Alexandrian Jewish culture with the broader context of the Second Temple Judaism. By showing how the Letter of Aristeas can be referred to as a new source, she also significantly contributes to grammatical studies"--Publisher description.
