Item description from seller

xlvii, [1], 312 p.; 19.5 cm. From the preface: `If a Greek MS., dating from the 1st Cent. A.D., and containing large fragments of the Pentateuch, should some day be found in Egypt, the world would hail the discovery as one of immense value to Biblical scholarship, and of surpassing interest to all true lovers of literature.Such a discovery is not at all beyond the bounds of possibility. But, in the meantime, we must not neglect the treasures which we already possess. Philo wrote in the first half of the 1st Cent. A.D.; and his extant writings contain most extensive quotations from the Pentateuch. In the present work the attempt is made to collect, arrange in order, and for the first time print in full, all the actual quotations from the books of the Old Testament to be found in Philo's writings, and a few of his typical paraphrases. The quotations give us large fragments of the Greek Bible used by the most eminent Alexandrian Jew of that century. For the purpose of giving general assistance to students, I have added footnotes, dealing principally with the text of Philo's quotations compared with that of the Septuagint.' -- On variations from the LXX: A. from Philo's methods of teaching; B. from Philo's disregard for verbal accuracy; C. reproducing differences of rendering and reading: (a) uncial mss., (b) Old Latin and Samaritan versions, (c) Lucianic recension; D. arising from errors in the existing text of Philo, p. xxxv-xlv. -- Quotations from Genesis - Deut., p. 1-282; rest of O.T., p. [283-302]; appendix. Philo and the Apocrypha, p. [303]-05; index to quotations [from Philo's works], p. [307]-12. Good ex-lib. orig. blue cloth. Unread, most gatherings unopened.
