My thanks are due in the first instance to the past and present members of the International Philo Project, a group of thirteen scholars in total (in addition to myself): their names are Ellen Birnbaum (Cambridge Mass.), Kenneth Fox (Toronto/Calgary), Albert Geljon (Utrecht), Heleen Keizer (Monza), José Pablo Martín (Buenos Aires), Maren Niehoff (Jerusalem), Roberto Radice (Luino), Jean Riaud (Angers), Karl-Gustav Sandelin (Åbo), David Satran (Jerusalem), Gottfried Schimanowski (Münster), Torrey Seland (Volda/Stavanger), Dieter Zeller (Mainz). With no less than eleven countries represented this team can surely lay claim to the title of ‘international’. Year in year out they have responded to my call to gain access to and summarize a list of writings on Philo, and then submit their materials to me by a certain date. Of course before they can do their work the list of bibliographical items has to be prepared. I wish to extend a special vote of thanks to Marten Hofstede (Leiden), who has been most generous with his time in scouring a considerable number of electronic databases for the scholarly references that the other members of the team have had to chase. Other scholars too have assisted with my enquiries. Their names are too numerous to list all of them individually, but I would like to single out Pieter van der Horst (Utrecht), Giovanni Benedetto (Monza), Gohei Hata (Tokyo) and Sze-Kar Wan (Dallas) for special mention. During the entire decade covered by this work there has continued to be splendid cooperation with Lorenzo Perrone, indefatigable editor of Adamantius , the Journal devoted to the study of Origen and the Alexandrian tradition. I would also like to thank James Royse (Claremont) in particular for reading through the manuscript and helping me with numerous valuable suggestions. I am very grateful to my research assistants over the years, and espe- cially to Tamar Primoratz (Melbourne), who has helped me with proof- reading and various indices, and to Edward Jeremiah (Melbourne), who contributed a number of indices to the volume. I also warmly thank Syd- ney Palmer for carrying out the difficult task of compiling the index of subjects. viii preface Provisional versions of the yearly bibliographies that make up this volume were published in the pages of The Studia Philonica Annual Up to the Journal was published by Brown Judaic Studies and I thank its editors Shaye Cohen (now Cambridge Mass.) and Ross Kraemer (Providence) for their cooperation and support. In the Journal was taken over by SBL Publications. My very warm thanks are extended to Leigh Andersen (Atlanta) for supporting our work and honouring the agreement that the bibliographies could be used as the basis for a separate monograph to be published elsewhere. It has been a joy to work closely with Gregory Sterling (Notre Dame), the other editor of the Annual, during the entire period. The Publishing house of Brill (Leiden) has continued to support my scholarly work over the decades. I warmly thank Loes Schouten (Leiden) and the editors of Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae for including this study in their series. Mattie Kuiper (Leiden) helped in her usual no-fuss manner with various technical enquiries. The final presentation of the book has also received much benefit from the typesetting acumen of Johannes Rustenburg and his team at TAT Zetwerk, Utrecht. Lastly I would like to offer a vote of heartfelt thanks to my home institution for most of the past decade, Queen’s College at the University of Melbourne, and in particular to its President of Council, Mr John Castles AM, for generously encouraging me to continue my scholarship after I took on the role of Master. Australia is a long way, not only from Philo’s Alexandria, but also from the heartland of modern scholarship in Europe and North America. Nevertheless the marvels of modern communication have made it ever easier to continue the truly global collaboration represented by the present volume. I dedicate this work to the band of scholars spread out throughout the entire world who continue to pursue research on the writings and thought of Philo of Alexandria and his historical and intellectual context. May their studies long flourish. David T. Runia Melbourne June th INTRODUCTION . History of the Project and the Present Volume . Aim of the Present Work . Method of the Present Work a.

Some Statistics . History of the Project and the Present Volume The present bibliography of Philonic studies brings together studies on Philo of Alexandria and his Umwelt published in the years –. It thus is a continuation of Philo of Alexandria: an Annotated Bibliography – (RRS) published in , the scope and method of which it follows fairly closely. 1 Like its predecessor, it is primarily based on yearly bibliographies prepared by the International Philo Bibliography Project and published in The Studia Philonica Annual 2 The Project continues to be directed by D. T. Runia, who is in charge of the database that lies at the heart of the Project. He has been generously assisted by a team of scholars who have checked the bibliographical references and compiled the summaries contained in the bibliographies. The team consists of about ten members and has undergone some changes during the ten years covered by the present work. Those members who contributed to all ten bibliographies are: A. C. Geljon, H. M. Keizer, J. P. Martín, J. Riaud and D. T. Runia. Those who contributed to one of more are: E. Birnbaum ( years), K. A. Fox ( years), M. R. Niehoff ( years), R. Radice ( years), K.-G. Sandelin ( year), D. Satran ( years), G. Schimanowski ( 1 See in this volume 2 See in this volume no. – and subsequent bibliographies in SPhA () –, () –, () –. x introduction years), T. Seland ( years) and D. Zeller ( years). A special mention must be made of the contribution of M. R. J. Hofstede, who throughout the entire period covered by this volume has given splendid assistance to the Project in the area of electronic database searching. In recent years, with the growth of the internet, this method has become the primary way of locating items of scholarship and reviews scattered across the globe. The present volume has been compiled by D. T. Runia, with the assistance of some of the members of the project team and of his two research assistants, T. Primoratz and E. T. Jeremiah. The onerous task of preparing the subject index was carried out by Ms Sydney Palmer; the other sections of the indices were prepared by Ms Primoratz and Dr Jeremiah. . Aim of the Present Work The aim of the present bibliography is two-fold: () To list and give a brief summary of all items of scholarly literature published from to dealing directly with the thought and writings of Philo of Alexandria. () To add additional items which were omitted from the previous bibliography for the years to and to correct mistakes in the earlier volume. 3 . Method of the Present Work a. Basic Method In all essential respects the present bibliography continues the method of its predecessor. The chief features of this method are: 4 () Accurate listing of items based where possible on autopsy of the original document; 5 3 In this volume, in contrast to its predecessor, no attempt has been made to list reviews of books published prior to which could not be included in the previous volume. Book reviews have been located through the searching of relevant databases (see below § (b) and n. ), but the listing is likely to be very incomplete. 4 For further details see Introduction to R-R, pp. xi–xxii. 5 Some exceptions have to be made, e.g. dissertations (where the summaries are based on published abstracts). In general slightly more use has been made in this introduction xi () Division of the bibliography into two parts: Part One: listing primary studies dealing with Philo’s writings and Philonic scholarship under the following headings: Bibliogra- phies, Editions, Fragments, Translations, Anthologies, Commen- taries, Indices and Lexicographical works, Journal, Internet sites; Part Two: listing critical studies, presented chronologically by year and alphabetically by author; () Brief summary of the contents of each bibliographical item, indicat- ing its main thesis and the various subjects discussed; () Listing of reviews of monographs specially devoted to Philo; 6 () Full indices allowing fast and accurate access to the contents of the bibliography. b. Scope of the Bibliography The present work has certainly not escaped the influence of the rise of the internet, the single most significant development in the practice of schol- arship during the past decade. Most items of Philonic scholarship are now identified through extensive searching of relevant scholarly databases on the internet. 7 Because, however, the study of Philo is relevant to so many areas of scholarship, 8 it is not possible to achieve a complete coverage of all items that discuss aspects of his writings and thought. In particular it is difficult to locate discussions hidden away in monographs on themes in related fields, particularly in studies on ancient history and the New Testament. As previously, the minimum length of the contribution on Philo has been fixed at three pages, unless it concerns a shorter item of exceptional interest. In practice the bibliography aims to be complete at least in the coverage of items that include a reference to Philo in their titles. 9 volume of abstracts supplied by authors, particularly for works of scholarship outside the mainstream of Philonic scholarship. See for example the studies of O. S. Vardazaryan published in Armenian and Russian. 6 Reviews have been collected primarily via electronic databases (esp. L’ année philo- logique) and our collection is likely to be quite incomplete. 7 The main databases that have been used (most in the public domain) are: L’ année philologique, Arts and Humanities Index, ATLA Religion database, BILDI, Dissertation Abstracts, Francis, GVK, IBR, IBZ Online, Online contents, Philosopher’s Index, RAMBI, Theoldi, WorldCat. 8 See the remarks on this subject in R-R pp. xiii–xiv. 9 It should again be noted that items relating directly to the Ps.Philonic Biblical Antiquities are once again excluded from the bibliography, but that this is not the case for items relating to the Ps.Philonic De Jona and De Sampsone xii introduction The present work continues a feature of its predecessor RRS that differs from the ‘mother-work’ R-R, namely that no linguistic restrictions are placed on items listed. In practice the main emphasis still falls on works written in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Hebrew and specialists in these languages have been sought as members of the project team. In addition the team also includes scholars versed in Dutch and the main Scandinavian languages. But when items in other languages have reached the attention of the project team and it has proved practical to obtain summaries of them, they have been included. It must be emphasized, however, that coverage of certain European languages (esp. Greek and Russian) and all non-European languages (e.g. Arabic, Chinese and Japanese) remains very incomplete. 10 c. Uniformity and Variation It must be emphasized once again that the preparation of the present bibliography is the result of the collaboration of a team of scholars. In deciding which items should be included in the various language areas and in preparing the summaries, individual collaborators have been given considerable latitude within the guidelines listed above. This has inevitably resulted in a certain amount of variation in terms of method and content, including some details of spelling and orthography. Only limited attempts have been made to regularize this variation. 11 Generally speaking European conventions have been followed in the citation of works. This means inter alia that initials only are given for authors’ first names, the names of publishers are not listed, and single quotation marks are used throughout. 12 10 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. introduction xiii In general Greek terms are printed in the original script and have been indexed as such. Certain central concepts, such as logos , pneuma , nous etc., have been transliterated and have been indexed in the index of subjects. Hebrew terms have in all cases been transliterated. d. Indices The method of the indices continues the practice of RRS. All numbers refer to bibliographical items. In the case of the most important of the indices, the Index of Subjects, we remind the user that items specifi- cally focusing on Philo’s treatises are listed under the heading Corpus Philonicum and that general discussions of the man and his work are listed under the heading Philo. e. Numbering For the numbering of the items the practice of the previous bibliography has been continued. It has, however, been necessary to make the follow- ing further adaptations: (i) The numbers in Part One follow on from the previous work. Be- cause of the advent of translations into languages not previously listed, new sections are included commencing with nos. (Dan- ish), (Chinese), (Japanese) and (Russian). (ii) The beginning of the new millennium in 13 necessitated an important change in numbering for Part Two. For the years to bibliographical items continue to begin with the last two numbers of the year, e.g. etc. for . In years with more than items we thus obtain a five figure number, e.g. etc. in . From the year onwards items begin with followed by the last two numbers of the year, e.g. for the first item in . Years with more than items can thus yield six figure numbers, e.g. in . (iii) Additional items for the years to listed in Part Three are again given the next available number following on from the listing in RRS, which is then prefixed with an a , e.g. a (RRS had items for ). As in RRS additional items for 13 Strictly speaking, as all classicists know, the new millennium commenced in , but the problem of numbering already commenced for the year . xiv introduction Part One have been listed there and not in Part Three. They are also preceded by an a in their numbering. (iv) Cross-references to previous volumes are indicated by the agreed abbreviation R-R and RRS followed by the item number. Cross- references within this volume are indicated by the item number only printed in bold type. (v) The index follows the practice of RRS in placing the references to additional items after the items for to , even though they are chronologically prior. f. Abbreviations The abbreviations used in the work are listed in the section following the Introduction. No abbreviations are used in the bibliographical refer- ences themselves. 14 Abbreviations of journal titles are used in the lists of reviews. In choosing the abbreviations we have tried to be consistent with those used by the Society of Biblical Literature publications (including now The Studia Philonica Annual) and l’ année philologique , but it has not been possible to avoid some discrepancies. For abbreviations of the works of ancient authors and of modern reference works we follow the conven- tions listed in the SBL Handbook of Style and the standard Oxford dictio- naries of Liddell and Scott (Greek), Glare (Latin) and Lampe (Patristic Greek). As suggested in the previous volume, a suitable abbreviation for the present work is RRS, indicating that it is a second supplementary vol- ume to the original bibliography R-R. g. Electronic Publications The present work remains basically a bibliography of printed publica- tions, although extensive use has been made of electronic resources in its preparation. A number of key internet sites have been listed in Part I, §H. 15 No attempt has been made to include documents that have been disseminated by electronic means only, with the exception of some elec- tronic reviews such as the Bryn Mawr Classical Review 14 This differs from the practice of RRS, in which series titles were abbreviated, but journal titles were written out in full. 15 Here and listed in RRS have again been included because they have continued to be live in the period after . introduction xv . Continuation of the Bibliography Project The International Philo Bibliography Project is being continued at the present time, with provisional listings being given in the pages of The Studia Philonica Annual . See the details on the Internet site listed at Scholars who wish their writings to be included are invited to send the relevant information to the Director of the Project. 16 Some reviewers of RRS remarked that it would be better to publish a work of this kind online. It is to be agreed that it is highly desirable to publish a complete Philonic bibliography that can be consulted online and searched electronically. Unfortunately, because the International Philo bibliography Project is not linked to a research institute and has no independent funding, it has so far not been possible to achieve this goal. At present plans have been made to produce an online version within a few years. Ideally this would include the three annotated volumes R-R, RRS and the present volume, as well as their predecessor G-G (without annotations). 17 . Some Statistics Once again the compilation of ten further years of scholarship allows us to gain an overview of the progress and development of published research in the field of Philonic studies. For the years to RRS contained a total of items for Part One and Part Two to which can be added additional items contained in this volume, making a grand total of items for the decade. The present work lists so far (some additional items may be expected) the following totals per year (again adding together Part One and Part Two): 16 Current postal address: Prof. D. T. Runia, Queen’s College, – College Crescent, Parkville Vic , Australia; email runia@queens.unimelb.edu.au. 17 Negotiations are in progress with the publishing house Brill. Yearly bibliographies would continue in The Studia Philonica Annual and would be made available online in the following year. xvi introduction TOTAL There is thus an increase of about compared with the previous decade. In RRS the following prediction was made (p. xiv): ‘It may be concluded that scholarly output on Philo and related subjects is still on the increase, but that it shows signs of stabilizing at an average of about items a year.’ This prediction has proved fairly accurate, except for the exceptionally fertile years of , and , the numbers of which were partly fuelled by the publication of some volumes of collected essays (see , , , , ). If a prediction may be made this time, it might be that the inexorable rise of electronic publishing will make the task of the bibliographer much more difficult, and that the number of printed publications may well start to decrease.
