About this title

Synopsis

This paperback edition is the first volume in the Brill Philo of Alexandria Commentary Series. It contains a new English translation (the first for seventy years) of Philo’s famous treatise On the Creation of the Cosmos, and the first commentary in English. In this work the Jewish exegete and philosopher gives a selective exegesis of the Mosaic creation account and the events in paradise as recorded in Genesis 1–3. It is the first preserved example of Hexaemeral literature (six days of creation) and had a profound influence on early Christian thought. The commentary makes his thought accessible to those such as graduate students who are just beginning to read Philo and also contains much material that will be of interest to specialists in Hellenistic Judaism, ancient philosophy, and patristic literature.
