“This is an important addition to the Septuagint Commentary Series, and makes a valuable contribution to scholarship on I Esdras. All three sections of the volume are helpful in generating a deeper understanding of the text, and for the appreciation of the textual and exegetical issues that surround it. This is strong piece of scholarship.”Paul Foster, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh
