THE PLACE OF PHILO IN THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Georgi Shavulev, ‘The Place of Philo of Alexandria
in the History of Philosophy,’

Click to access 7IeCSHSS.pdf

Abstract: “Philo of Alexandria (ca. 20 B.C.E. -50 C.E.), or Philo Judaeus as he
is also called, was a Jewish scholar, philosopher, politician, and author who
lived in Alexandria and who has had a tremendous influence through his works
(mostly on the Christian exegesis and theology). Today hardly any scholar of
Second Temple Judaism, early Christianity, or Hellenistic philosophy sees any
great imperative in arguing for his relevance. After the research (contribution)
of V. Nikiprowetzky in the field of philonic studies, it seems that the
prevailing view is that Philo should be regarded above all as an “exegete “.
Such an opinion in one way or another seems to neglect to some extent Philo’s
place in the History of philosophy. This article defends the position that Philo
should be considered primarily as a “hermeneut.” Emphasizing that the concept of
hermeneutics has a broader meaning (especially in the context of antiquity) than
the narrower and more specialized concept of exegesis.”

DID PHILO CONSIDER MELCHIZEDEK TO BE THE LOGOS?

Kolodniy, Eugene Y. (2024). “Did Philo of Alexandria Consider Melchizedek to Be
the Logos of God in Legum allegoriae III, 79–82?”. Bible and Christian
Antiquity, № 3 (23), 140-162 (in Russian). DOI: 10.31802/BCA.2024.23.3.003

My knowledge of this study is limited to the reference given above, which I read
at another very useful Philo site: Filon de Alejandria:
https://filonalejandria.com/ (and I don’t read Russian- but AI do).

RESOURCE PAGES FOR BIBLICAL STUDIES

My Resource Pages for Biblical Studies, which also include some content related
to Philo, have been in poor condition for some time. However, they are now
functioning well.

They, contain, however some dead links, but I will try to check out these to see
if they are ‘dead and gone’ or have been moved to another site.

At the same time, I recognize that the relevance of a site like mine might be
more reflective of past times. But as many other pages, even seminaries etc,
have linked to these pages, I will revise my pages and keep them up for still a
few years.

Do you think they are still useful for students?

THE ARMENIAN TEXT OF PHILO’S DE ABRAHAMO 1‑16

Boris Nikolsky, “The Armenian Text of Philo’s De Abrahamo 1‑16,” in Matenadaran:
Medieval and Early Modern Armenian Studies (MEMAS), Vol. 1.1, pp. 107-119.

Open Access: https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/10.1484/J.MEMAS.5.142265

Abstract: “This article discusses textual problems of the Armenian translation
of Philo’s De Abrahamo (§1–6). The prevailing opinion that ms. V1040 is
the codex optimus is questioned. A preliminary study of errors in the Armenian
manuscript tradition allows to determine the place of V1040 among other
witnesses and show that the correct Armenian text can be reconstructed only
through a careful examination of all manuscript readings. The studied material
also confirms Hans Lewy’s view that all known manuscripts of the Armenian
translation of De Abrahamo go back to one archetype, which had already suffered
considerable textual corruption.”

THEORIZING LAUGHTER AND ETHNICITY

Woodward, T. (2024). Theorizing Laughter and Ethnicity in Philo’s Embassy to
Gaius. Journal of Biblical Literature 143(3), 483-502.

https://doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1433.2024.6

Philo’s Embassy to Gaius (Legat.) narrates anti-Jewish violence in Alexandria
(38–41 CE) and the experiences of a Jewish embassy sent to the Roman emperor
Gaius to advocate for the rights of Jews in the city. Philo repeatedly brings up
laughter during key episodes, using it to characterize his figures and
situations, particularly along ethnic lines. Philo suggests that Egyptians have
an inherent proclivity toward derision of Jews, whereas Romans only join in this
unjust mockery when they inappropriately allow Egyptians to hold influence over
them. In doing so, he establishes a narrative that places the blame of the
crisis in Alexandria from 38–41 CE firmly on Egyptians and Egyptianness. In this
article, I take Philo as a theorist of laughter, following Eva Mroczek’s
arguments for “native theory” and Mary Beard’s work on ancient laughter. Taking
up Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s interrogation of theories as constructed tools with
specific effects, I ask what Philo’s theory of laughter does for him.
Ultimately, I argue that Philo’s theorization of laughter supports a specific
ethnic reasoning, in Denise Kimber Buell’s language, that condemns Egyptianness
while exonerating Romanness, perhaps in an attempt to endear his own Jewish
community to the Romanness, perhaps in an attempt to endear his own Jewish
community to the Romans who controlled Alexandria.

THE CONCEPT OF LOGOS

Gozum, Ivan Efreaim A. “The Concept of Logos from Heraclitus, Philo of
Alexandria, and the Early Christianity of the First Century CE.” Philippiniana
Sacra LIX (2024): 585–607.

Abstract: “Different luminaries have been widely used, and the implications and
interpretations of the Greek term logos have been studied. Ancient Greek
philosophy and Early Christian theology have tackled the relevance of logos in
studying reality. The word logos means “word,” “reason,” “thought,” and “plan.”
Some see logos as providence, nature, god, soul, and transcendent. In
comparison, some point out logos as the connection between rational discourse
and the rational structure of the universe. Hence, it can be viewed from a
perspective in which the “word” has a power that contributes to the interplay of
the cosmos.
This idea also plays a significant role in the prologue of the Gospel of John as
it is used to understand the pre-existence of Jesus and the principle of God as
active in creation, cosmos, and divine plan of human salvation. This paper aims
to expose the development of the Greek term “logos” from ancient Greek
Philosophy to early Christianity. The concepts of Heraclitus, Philo of
Alexandria, and the early Christian writings will be discussed.”

CONVERSION TO JUDAISM

Katell Berthelot is a prolific and productive scholar. Here is one of her latest
contributions:

Berthelot, K. (2024). Conversion to Judaism and Hostility toward Jews in the
Roman Empire: The Complementary Perspectives of Philo and Tacitus. Journal for
the Study of Judaism, 55(3), 357-385. https://doi.org/10.1163/15700631-bja10086

Abstract: “Hellenistic texts on Jews hardly ever refer to people converting to
Judaism. Roman authors’ criticism and condemnation of people who had converted
to Judaism thus appears as a new feature of anti-Jewish discourse. The relative
prominence of references to Judaizers and converts in Roman literary texts may
be explained by the number and visibility of proselytes in Rome, but also
perhaps by the perception, within certain Roman circles, of conversion to
Judaism as a betrayal of Roman values. Tacitus best illustrates this trend. This
article seeks to shed light on his hostile remarks on converts through a
comparison with Philo’s highly positive comments on proselytes. The comparison
reveals surprising points of agreement between the two authors and helps us
understand what was at stake in the phenomenon of conversion and how it could
generate tensions between proselytes and their native environment.”
