Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 2nd Edition. Printed in England. Date on the title page. First printing of this revised edition. Preface, Footnotes, Bibliographical Note, Index; 167 pages. The original russet boards are very good, with corners square and just three small spots; silver lettering bold on the spine. The interior is bright and crisp; however, NOTE that my philosopher-father, who founded, then chaired for eighteen years the Seminars in World Religion at Columbia University, left penciling on about a dozen pages---heavy on five. The original dust jacket has taken most of the wear: It has several chips, a sunned spine, and a few spots on the front panel. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "Philo was an exact contemporary of Jesus and Paul in Alexandria, where he was one of the leading Jews of the city. § Yet most Jews and Gentiles alike have tacitly united in ignoring him, or in dismissing him at second or third hand. Such neglect of so strategic a person has no parallel."---From the front flap. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
