Vetus Testamentum Græcum cum variis lectionibus (1798-1827) is a book by Robert Holmes and James Parsons.

Abstract

It was the earliest edition of the Septuagint to contain a full critical apparatus. The text adopted was the Sixtine, printed apparently from Bos' edition of 1709, with slight variations.

The Greek text was printed as a single column, not divided into verses, with verse numbers in the margin, and with the apparatus criticus (in 2 columns) printed below; there are Latin prefaces and appendices to separate books and groups of books.
