Excerpt from Philo About the Contemplative Life, or the Fourth Book of the Treatise Concerning Virtues: Critically Edited With a Defence of Its Genuineness
Any such hypothesis ignores the philological affinities of the piece, as well as all the circumstances of its trans mission to us in the manuscripts and in ancient versions. It conflicts with chronology, rests upon wholesale mis understanding of the text, and presupposes conditions of pseud-epigraphic authorship which never did and never could exist. That it should be rapidly stereotyping itself among scholars is indicative of a prevalent and regrettable ignorance of Philo's writings; and it was in the hope of being able to correct an error which is the inversion of three centuries of religious history, that I undertook six years ago, at the instance of Professor L. Mmebieau of Paris, the present edition. If he had kept his health and strength, he would have himself followed up his excellent monograph1 with a critical edition of the Creek text.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contemplative life as practiced by a fascinating group of ancient Jewish ascetics known as the Therapeutae. The author critically examines a treatise on this subject, exploring its historical significance and textual authenticity. This particular work has sparked controversy for centuries, with scholars debating whether the Therapeutae were early Christians or a distinct Jewish sect. The book explores a rich tapestry of ideas, including the nature of Jewish mysticism, the relationship between contemplation and action, and the role of solitude in spiritual development. The author analyzes Philo's writings to understand the Therapeutae's beliefs, practices, and their place within the broader context of Jewish thought. The author's meticulous examination of the text, its historical context, and its relationship to other works by Philo, provides a comprehensive and compelling analysis that sheds new light on this enigmatic group and their unique form of religious life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
