Répartis sur un millénaire et demi, les récits ici rassemblés disent comment la Bible hébraïque est devenue un livre grec. La Lettre d'Aristée fut rédigée avant l'ère chrétienne en Egypte. Avec un art très sûr, elle met en scène un roi macédonien désireux d'enrichir la fameuse bibliothèque d'Alexandrie. Soixante-douze lettrés venus de Jérusalem collaborent pour traduire la Torah d'hébreu en grec. Destinée à acquérir une renommée immense dans le judaïsme, puis à influencer fortement les doctrines du christianisme, cette traduction sera appelée la Bible des Septante. Au IVe siècle, le Traité des Poids et Mesures d'Epiphane de Salamine, mis ici en français pour la première fois, reprend le récit en l'enrichissant de détails merveilleux. Il s'agit de montrer que la Septante est la plus ancienne traduction de la Bible et la meilleure. Car il en existe désormais d'autres, qui lui disputent la place et dont il faut aussi exposer l'origine. La troisième partie retrace les échos de ces récits dans les textes grecs, latins, hébreux, syriaques et arabes, jusqu'au XVe siècle. Avec ce livre, le lecteur a en main de quoi suivre tout le développement de la légende entourant la Septante et les autres traductions dans l'Antiquité et le Moyen Age byzantin et oriental. Il peut apprécier ce que l'on savait et ce que l'on croyait, aux différentes époques, sur les origines de la Bible grecque.

"Who could write the history of Hellenistic Judaism without taking heed of the Letter to Aristeas? The text has been read since the 17th century as the work of a poor historian. It is now considered as a late apology, built on an older legendary tradition., according to which the Jewish law was translated in Greek under King Ptolemy II Philadelphus. This hypothesis may account for the apparent carelessness of the narration and the many historical errrors of the Letter, but the existence of the legend it is built upon cannot be proved. With the help of what Josephus, Justin Martyr, Anatolius of Laodicea and Epiphanius of Salamis wrote on the birth of the Greek Bible, an alternative interpretation may be developed, based on the Platonician myth of the ages of the world. The reign of Ptolemy and the pontificate of Eleazar are to be considered a golden age, hiding an age of iron, which is its exact opposite. This age of iron matches what is known from independent sources of the reign of Ptolemy VIII Physcon and the pontificate of John Hycarnus. It transforms the Letter of Aristeas into a political pamphlet urging the fall of the Hasmonean dynasty, weakened by the bold attempt of Alexander Jannaeus against Ptolemais. This new hyporthesis gives sense to the too many elements of the Letter which had been considered to this date as mere digressions or errors."--English summary.
