Has anyone recommeded Sidney Jellicoe, THE SEPTUAGINT AND MODERN STUDY,

Although it's out of print, last I knew, you may try to find Gleason Archer
and GC Chirichigno, OLD TESTAMENT QUOTATIONS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT: A
COMPLETE SURVEY, Moody Press, 1983. They listed all the OT quotations in the
New, compared it to the Hebrew and the various LXX texts to determine where
it came from.
