Septuaginta: the Greek Old Testament in the History of Religious Mind
The Septuagint, being the fi rst written biblical translation, was also the early testimony
of understanding of the sacred text. It was not inferior by age to the scrolls of Qumran and
earlier than the New Testament books, as well as than the written form of aramaic targums.
The whole literature of Judaeo-Hellenism is associated with it. For the early Greek Christian
communities it was the fi rst form of Scriptura Sacra. Opposition of angels and demons,
idea of creation of the Universe «ex nihilo» were perceived by the European thought
through the Septuagint. The study of this textual witness now seems to be more and more
important and, from other side, more and more complicated, due to the scale and the depth
of sources, and also due to the crisis of understanding.

Substantive Content of Artistic Forms
"What meaning does the form of a work of art itself present? What is its type and genre? What can be inferred from this or that structure, plot, rhythm? Why does a playwright perceive the world differently from a lyric poet or an epic writer, and why does an elegy imply different content than an ode, sonnet or ballad? How does "how" determine "what"?" Two eternal problems of culture: content and form and the division of literature into types and kinds - are pushed into each other in the book and mutually explain themselves. The author of the book, a famous literary scholar, esthetician and philosopher, Doctor of Philology, with rare precision reveals the meanings given in a particular artistic text by the optics of its genres - tragedy, satire, detective - even before we, the readers, immerse ourselves in the objective world of this tragic, satirical or detective story. Having become a scientific event at its first publication, the study of G.D. Gachev, analyzing classical works of ancient, Western European and Russian literature, is by no means limited to the value of a monument of Russian philological and aesthetic thought and fully retains its relevance for modern times.
