Synopsis

Opera quae supersunt; presents the surviving works of Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman Empire. This collection, originally published in 1895, offers profound insights into Philo's synthesis of Greek philosophy and Jewish thought. Philo's writings are crucial for understanding the intellectual milieu of the first century CE and the development of early Christian theology. His allegorical interpretations of the Old Testament provide a unique perspective on scripture, influencing theologians and scholars for centuries.

This edition provides access to the original Greek text, allowing scholars and students to engage directly with Philo's philosophical and religious arguments. His attempts to harmonize reason and revelation continue to resonate with those interested in the intersection of philosophy, religion, and history.
