Inhaltsangabe
Philo was an ancient Jewish philosopher at a time when the Middle East was Hellenized by the Greek world, and he wrote at length, including this work. From the intro: "It is a Bible history, reaching, in its present imperfect form, from Adam to the death of Saul. It has come to us only in a Latin translation (made from Greek, and that again from a Hebrew original), and by an accident the name of the great Jewish philosopher of the first century, Philo, has been attached to it. Let me say at once that the attribution of it to him is wholly unfounded, and quite ridiculous: nevertheless I shall use his name in italics (Philo) as a convenient short title."

From the Back Cover
In this book, first written in Hebrew and then translated to Greek, Latin, and finally English, an unknown writer provides for his readers an apocryphal history of the Bible. Although originally attributed to the first-century Jewish philosopher Philo, historians agree that The Biblical Antiquities of Philo were probably written by another author after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. It is considered a valuable record of the state of Jewish belief at the time of its writing.
Written as a compliment to the Biblical stories already in existence, "Philo" offers some instruction to believers, but mostly chronicles stories of interest concerning the first humans. Those with an interest in the roots of Western religion will find this an invaluable resource.
