Description

The Biblical Antiquities of Philo translated by Montague Rhodes James is a fascinating pseudepigraphical work that offers a retelling and expansion of biblical history from Genesis through the reign of Saul, attributed not to the philosopher Philo of Alexandria, but to an unknown Jewish author writing around the 1st century CE. In this volume, renowned scholar M. R. James provides a meticulous English translation and introduction, shedding light on the text's origin, structure, and theological significance. Rich in imaginative additions, moral reflections, and apocalyptic themes, The Biblical Antiquities bridges the gap between the Old Testament and later Jewish and Christian writings. This work is an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in biblical studies, Second Temple Judaism, and the development of religious narrative traditions.
