Abstract
The article deals with questions concerning the origin of Septuagint as a Bible of the early Christian Church. It discusses various versions of the Jewish tradition about the translation of Torah into Greek.
It surveys opinions of the present-day science about the origin of Septuagint and shows how the use of the title „Septuagint“ emerged. Thereafter, it deals with the question whether we can consider Septuagint as a canon of the Old Testament (so called „Alexandrian canon“).
