00 Hardcover Septuagint commentary series BS1545 On facing pages of the original Greek and his own new translation, Olly presents the text of a manuscript that was produced by Christians, probably in Alexandria during the fourth century, but later deposited and used in Caesarea shortly after Christians were decriminalized in the Roman Empire by the 313 Edict of Milan.

Two years later, Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and issued his Edict of Milan, which provided for the full restoration of Christians' citizenship rights.

The Edict of Milan had granted official tolerance to the new religion.
