Description

Explore the complex writings of Philo of Alexandria in this scholarly edition from Cambridge University Press. This volume focuses on Quod deterius, a profound discussion regarding the Cain and Abel episode found in the Bible. Philo utilizes the Greek translation of the Septuagint to build his argument, creating a unique text that blends traditional Greek literary commentary with moralizing diatribe and philosophical theory. This work also incorporates midrashic-like exegesis through the extensive use of other biblical passages. The included commentary provides clarity on these various components, offering essential insight into Philo's highly wrought rhetorical language and his specific treatment of the biblical text. This edition is part of the Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries series, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of religious and classical studies.
