The Philo Index

Book excerpt: "This new reference work is the first and only available index to all the Greek words in the writings of Philo, main fragments included. Designed specifically to aid with scholarly research on Philo, this lemmatized and computer-generated concordance lists each Greek word alphabetically, followed by an exhaustive listing of every occurrence of the term within Philo's extensive corpus." "Based on the four major text editions of Philo's writings - Cohn-Wendland (1896-1915), Colson (1941), Petit (1978), and Paramelle (1984) - this index facilitates word study by incorporating contracted words and words with variant spellings into a single listing. It also notes supplementary lemmas and other grammatical variations in brackets after the primary entry." "The Philo Index will be a valuable addition to research and academic libraries and an indispensable tool for scholars and students of Philo."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
