A contemporary of Jesus Christ, Philo of Alexandria ranks among the greatest of Jewish and Greek thinkers. He was not only the first theologian but also the first psychologist of faith, the first mystic among monotheists, and the first systematizer of biblical allegory. Chosen by a distinguished scholar of Jewish-Hellenistic culture, these selections illuminate Philo's crucial role in assimilating Greek philosophy to biblical religion and accommodating Jewish belief to the requirements of Greek thought. An introductory essay is followed by meditations on God and the world, God and man, and man and the world. Additional subjects include the knowledge of God; the mystic way; the soul and her God; man's humility, hope, faith, and joy; vices and virtues; and Israel and the nations.

Studies in the Aramaic Legal Papyri from Elephantine

By: Yochanan Muffs

Long recognized as a brilliant cross-cultural study, Yochanan Muffs’ work analyzes the legal formulary of the Aramaic papyri from Elephantine, at the first cataract of the Nile, where a Persian garrison comprised of Jewish soldiers and their families lived throughout most of the 5th century B.C.E. These documents are of exceptional importance for the study of ancient Near Eastern law, and Muffs has investigated their formative background through extensive references to cuneiform law, by a method he calls “the Assyriological approach”. Virtually every aspect of law-sale of land, marriage and family law, loans and credit, the taking of oaths, and the granting of bequests is studied in great depth and with unusual clarity. Muffs’ work has enjoyed renewed interest in the light of more recent discoveries of Aramaic legal documents from later periods, as in the Judean Desert.

'Les Oracles chaldaïques 1891-2011'. 3rd revised edition

By: Hans Lewy

En 1956 était publié, à l'Institut d'Archéologie orientale du Caire, un ouvrage important de Hans Lewy sur les Oracles chaldaïques, "Chaldaean oracles and theurgy". Cette étude, vite épuisée, fut l'objet, en 1978, d'une nouvelle édition dans la Collection des Études augustiniennes, due à Michel Tardieu, qui accompagnait le texte de H. Lewy d'une série de douze compléments, parmi lesquels une contribution de E. R. Dodds, et une autre de P. Hadot. Cet ouvrage, qui reste fondamental pour la connaissance des Oracles chaldaïques et de toute la philosophie ancienne, était épuisé depuis longtemps, et Michel Tardieu en propose aujourd∎hui une troisième édition: à côté de menues corrections, cette nouvelle édition comporte un treizième complément, "Les Oracles chaldaïques 1891-2011", qui offre une synthèse de 120 ans de recherches, depuis les travaux de Jahn, en 1891, jusqu'à nos jours, et une bibliographie répartie en cinq sections, qui dépouille l'ensemble de la production sur le sujet.
