The Septuagint version of the Old Testament is a translation of the Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton, originally published by Samuel Bagster & Sons, London, in 1844, in English only.

From the 1851 edition, the Apocrypha were included, and by about 1870,^[1] an edition with parallel Greek text existed;^[2] another one appeared in 1884. In the 20th century, it was reprinted by Zondervan,^[3] among others.

Codex Vaticanus is used as the primary source. Brenton's has been the most widely used translation until the publication of New English Translation of the Septuagint in 2007.^{[citation needed ]}
