The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.

You could start out looking for Psalters. These were originally based on the OG OT and tended to stay in use even after the HB was translated.
In a similar way, the KJV was slow to dislodge the Church of England Psalter based on an earlier version.
I once had a look at a volume of the Prophetologium edited by Hoeg and Zuntz. It is a good critical edition of lectionary texts of the LXX. It is published in a rather obscure series: Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae. Lectionaria. Vol. I, and, if my memory serves me right, it took as the base text a 12th or 13th century Sinaitic manuscript (or Sinaitic lectionary tradition).
Actually, the complete edition of the "septuagint lectionary", or "prophetologium" comprises 8 volumes (ed. Høeg, Zuntz, Engberg, Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, Copenhagen 1939-1981) and is based mainly on two manuscripts from the 11th century, one in Venice and the other in Oxford.
