Book Description
The volume aims to introduce the studies on the Armenian version of Philo’s writings, as well as being valuable for scholars who are not Armenologists. This corpus of ancient translations is of great importance to us not only because it has preserved works whose Greek originals have been lost, but it will also be of use for improving our knowledge regarding the reception of Philo’s thought. The essays approach the subject from different perspectives – historical, hermeneutical, philological and linguistic – in order to provide an overview on current research issues, giving special attention to the fortune of Philo’s works in Armenian Christianity.
