Citation is now mainly dependent on what is included in the main databases recording scholarly publications. But personal contacts of the editor and team members remain important. In particular it should be noted that there is a considerable body of scholarly work in Japanese that it has not been possible to include (see now the article by J. S. O'Leary, 'Japanese Studies of Philo, Clement and Origen, ' Adamantius () -). In addition it appears that there have been quite a few studies in Rumanian, particularly by Prof Ioan Chirila, that have not gained international attention (communication by Prof. Sandu Frunza to Ellen Birnbaum). 11 E.g. halachic and halakhic, programme and program etc. It was not practical to insist on strict uniformity in the area of differences of English and North American spelling. 12 Thus deviating from the conventions of SBL publications, including The Studia Philonica Annual (since ), in which the yearly bibliographies are first published. Exceptions must be made when double quotation marks are used in the titles of books or articles.
Philo of Alexandria was a Jewish statesman, philosopher, and religious thinker. A significant amount of his literary corpus was preserved by Christian hands and thereby came to resource numerous theologians in the Christian tradition. After passing into obscurity in Jewish circles in antiquity, Philo was rediscovered in the Italian Renaissance and came to feature in Jewish tradition once again. Philo's works straddle an interest in exegesis and philosophy, and the multi-faceted contents of his thought ensured a long history of reception among readers with their own agendas. This authoritative and systematic collection of essays by an international team of experts surveys Philo's reception from the time of his immediate contemporaries to the present day. The book unfolds over six sections: the first centuries, late antiquity, the middle ages, the renaissance and early modern period, from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, and contemporary perspectives.
Philo of Alexandria and Post-Aristotelian Philosophy, ed. by F Alesse, Leiden-Boston 2008
The file uploaded is the final proof of the Introduction to the volume. The essays collected focus on the role played by the philosophy of the Hellenistic (from Theophrastus and other Peripatetics, Epicurus, Sceptical Academy and Stoicism, to neo-Pythagoreanism and the schools of Antiochus and Eudorus) in Philo of Alexandria's works. Despite many authoritative studies on Philo's vision og Greek philosophy as an exegetical tool in allegorizing the Scripture, there is not such a comprehensive overview in Philo's treatises that takes in account both the progress achieved in the recent interpretation of Hellenistic philosophy and analysis of ancient doxographical literature

'Finding Philo' Exploring the influence of Philo of Alexandria in the works of St Gregory of Nyssa
When looking into the development of Christian Philosophy, especially that of the mystical Tradition, in the Imperial world it is vitally important to understand the context of the writing and cultural impact of the Hellenic thinkers who lived and taught before the advent of Christianity. A key aspect is looking at how the thought of the Pagan Philosophers of the Greek world such as Plato and the Stoics entered into the Christian understanding of and patristic exegetical thought on Scripture. Things brings forward the intellectual contribution made by the Jewish Philosopher; Philo of Alexandria.

This article presents a new reading in Phld., Acad. Hist., PHerc. 1021 col. 2, 7 (from the biography of Plato), where the multispectral photographs show that the correct verb is παρέγραψ̣εν «he added», not παρέ{ι}παιϲεν «he joked». The verb παραγράφω is also found in col. Y, 1, where it should be read with Gaiser as παρέγρα[ψε], i.e. with the name of Philodemus’ source as its subject. This source in question is probably the Peripatetic Dicaearchus of Messana, who is also the source of col. 1 and the beginning of col. 2.
pp. 305-6), is arguable. In the opinion of the present reviewer, the quotation in CD is not necessarily taken from Jubilees, but may refer to another work containing period chronologies. The fact is that with the exception of this problematic instance none of the non-biblical texts at Qumran cites Jubilees or the Temple Scroll, in contrast to the many quotations from proper biblical books. In chapter 16 (pp. 251-63), Ulrich gives his own assessment of the remains of seven biblical scrolls found at Masada. He points out that the general opinion that they all reflect a proto-Masoretic text should be qualified. In his view, there is no clear evidence to this effect, for the manuscripts of Genesis, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy from this site show slight disparate variants when compared with the MT. In his concluding remarks, Ulrich stresses that the Qumran biblical manuscripts demonstrate that the Hebrew MT, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Septuagint reflect older Hebrew texts circulating at the time, often stemming from variant versions and different editions than those of the MT (pp. 310-11). Ulrich closes his volume with a short survey of the current scholarly discussions on the meaning and significance of the Qumran data (pp. 314-16).

This article presents a new edition with an English translation and a commentary of the first few columns of Philodemus’ Historia Academicorum (Phld., Acad. Hist. 1021, coll. 1*-1-2, 7). The edition is based on the multispectral photographs, inspection of the original papyrus preserved in Naples and the Oxford and Neapolitan disegni. This renewed study of the papyrus has made it possible to identify new readings and to call into question the text as reconstructed by Gaiser. This section of the Historia Academicorum is part of Philodemus’ biography of Plato and is an excerpt from Dicaearchus, a pupil of Aristotle. It addresses Plato’s innovations, presenting his dialogues as both a blessing and a curse for philosophy: their protreptic force attracted many people to philosophy but at the same time led many people astray, since they practiced it only in a superficial manner; by consequence, those ignorant people wrongly believe that they are real philosophers.
