I am not sure what this has to do with antisemitism, but the Septuagint was not produced by Jewish scholars. All that you can be fairly sure was translated by Jews is the Torah. After that was translated the rest followed over a period of about 100 years. My understanding is that much of this translation work was undertaken by Christians. macabi@cwcom.net
