Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive collection of Philo's biblical quotations, meticulously collated from his many surviving works. Philo was a first century Jewish philosopher who wrote extensively using the Greek Septuagint as the basis of his scriptural exegesis. His writings thus offer invaluable insights into the use of the Septuagint during the first century AD, the historical period in which the New Testament was written. The author's detailed footnotes compare each quotation to its counterpart in the Septuagint, and other Greek versions, revealing variants that shed light on textual differences and the methods of quotation employed by Philo and early Jewish scholars. Through this meticulous research, the book illuminates Philo's allegorical and philosophical interpretations of the scriptures, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between Hellenistic thought and Jewish tradition during the first century AD.
