Abstract
The LXX Göttingen edition of Genesis serves as an exceptional resource for those studying the Septuagint. However, it overlooks six Greek fragments—879, 883, 886, 891, 894, 929—and seventeen Greek manuscripts—68, 83, 126, 350, 373, 374, 394, 431, 461, 483, 552, 628, 633, 651, 666, 691, 723—as well as ten Armenian manuscripts and the Princeton Syriac manuscripts, which were excluded by John Wevers. This article aims to address this gap by incorporating one Editio Princeps from Rahlfs—specifically fragment 891—into the study of the LXX. The research offers transliteration, translation, notes and integrates Greek fragment 891 into Wevers’ LXX Göttingen edition of Genesis, particularly within both apparatuses.
