Those of you on the Ioudaios list have already seen some discussion on 
this subject, but I think more could be said from a text-critical 
perspective.  Does the fact that the LXX was transmitted exclusively by 
Christians (after a certain point) imply that parthenos was substituted 
in all available LXX mss in Isa 7:14 on the basis of Mt 1:23, replacing 
the earlier neanis?  I doubt it myself.  If not, then can we say with 
certainty that parthenos means "virgin" in Isa 7:14 rather than "young 
woman"?  Again, I have my doubts.
