Origen's Hexapla, was a heroic attempt by the head of the Didaskaleon of Alexandria in the third century, to compare and purify the existing Greek texts. What is a good resource on this topic?
Well, the hexapla is spread throughout Logos; even the Lexham Dictionary has a good article; ditto ABD.
My favorite is from Use of the Septuagint in N.T. Research. Of course, the reason being the LXX was the subsequent victim of Hexapla interpolations.
I assume your question is a class question .... neither heroic, an attempt, nor necessarily its purpose.
Nope it is not a class question. I am trying to study Origen's commentary on John's Gospel.

You guessed much better than me. The reviewer is quite well-read. He quotes well too.
"The task of Old Testament theology may become easier and be more successfully accomplished if we remember that it is precisely the theology of the Old Testament, not the exegesis of the Old Testament, not the history of religion of Israel, not the theology of the entire Bible, which is the object of the study” J. McKenzie, Old Testament Theology
