Synopsis
The Letter of Aristeas in Scholarship (History of research)
The Letter of Aristeas was first printed in translation--by Mattia Palmerio in 1471 (Latin), by Dietrich Reisach in 1502 (German), and by Lodovico Domenichi in 1550 (Italian). The editio princeps of the Greek text was published in 1561 by Matthias Garbitius, with Latin translation by Simon Schard. New translations followed, including the first English translation (1633) by John Done.
The Letter was initially seen as a faithful account of the translation of the Septuagint by an eyewitness. Its historical reliability was first questioned by Hody (1659-1707).
