The Septuagint with Apocrypha: Greek and English (aka The Septuagint Version of the Old Testament and Apocrypha (1851) is a book by Lancelot Brenton.

Abstract

"This edition of the Septuagint, including Apocrypha, gives the complete Greek text along with a parallel English translation. The name derives from the tradition that it was made by seventy Jewish scholars at Alexandria, Egypt during the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus. The Apocryphal writings, although rejected by Protestants as non-canonical, provide important background material for a better understanding of the New Testament."--Publisher description.
