A Concordance to the Septuagint, by E. Hatch and H.A. Redpath

Unfortunately, one of the standard, staple reference works for biblical studies is not available on Archive.org, nor is it in Google Books, despite being of sufficient age to clear copyright. I’m referring to A Concordance to the Septuagint and Other Greek Versions of the Old Testament (including the Apocryphal Books) in Three Volumes by Edwin Hatch and Henry A. Redpath (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1897-1906). To be precise, only the third, “Supplement” volume is available, both at Archive.org as well as Google Books, if you reside in a country which Google permits viewing (i.e., not the UK).

UPDATE Since 2014, when this entry was first prepared, copies have appeared on Archive.org, either as three separate volumes, or with volumes 1-2 together (and inscribed by Thomas F. Torrance—his personal copy, I assume). These can now be used in preference to my index, below, which continues to “work”, and possibly retains some value.

An energetic contributor to Wikimedia Commons has uploaded a full set of page scans for the whole work. There are many, many page scans, however. There is no convenient viewing feature like “Read Online”, nor is there a consolidated PDF. I have compiled a rough-and-ready index of volumes 1 and 2, below, in order to enhance the usability of this valuable resource.
