My field of specialization is Septuagint, i.e. the Greek translation of 
the Hebrew Bible. I have edited the critical editons of all the books of 
the Pentateuch: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Also 
written Text Histories of the above five Greek books, and am currently 
writing Notes on the Greek Text of Leviticus. I have published Notes on 
the Greek Text of the Greek Exodus, Genesis and Deuteronomy, all 
published by Scholars Press.

I have also worked in the field of Biblical Hebrew, and worked on the 
texts of various books outside the Pentateuch, principally on the Books 
of Samuel-Kings and Ezekieal. I have also written commentaries on these 
books.

I am always interested in the application of modern linguistics to the 
study of Biblical Hebrewl and Hellenistic Greek.
