Philo of Alexandria: an Annotated Bibliography, 1937-1986 (Supplements to Vigiliae Christinae, Vol 8) (Supplements to Vigiliae Christianae) David T. Runia Reprint edition

The first author in which the traditions of Judaic thought and Greek philosophy flow together in a significant way is Philo of Alexandria. This study presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of Philo's knowledge and utilization of the most popular philosophical work of his day, the "Timaeus" of Plato. A kind of "commentary" is given on all passages in Philo's oeuvre in which the "Timaeus" is used or referred to, followed by a "synthetic" account of the influence that it had on Philo's thought.
