BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following are the chief works which have been
consulted and are recommended to the student of Philo:

The standard edition of Philo is still that of Thomas
Mangey, _Philonis Judaei opera quae reperiri potuerunt
omnia._ 1742. Londini.

A far more accurate and critical edition, which is
provided with introductory essays and notes upon the
sources of Philo, is in course of publication for the
Berlin Academy, by Dr. Leopold Cohn and Dr. Paul Wendland.
The first five volumes have already appeared, and
the remainder may be expected before long. The only
complete edition which contains the Latin text of the
_Quaestiones_ as well as the Greek works is that published
by Tauchnitz in eight volumes; but the text is not reliable.

There is an English translation of Philo's works in
the Bohn Library (G. Bell & Sons) by C.D. Yonge (4 vols.),
but it is neither accurate nor neat. The same may
he said of the German translation of Jost, but an
admirable German version edited by Dr. L. Cohn is now
appearing, which contains notes of the parallel passages
in rabbinic and patristic literature.

of Jesus Christ" (English translation).
