PHILON D'ALEXANDRIEGOODENOUGH (E. R.).An Introduction to Philo Judaeus.Oxford, 1962, pet. in-8°, cart. pl. toile. 300 gr.

Hardcover. Zustand: g. First edition. Octavo. XII, 223, [1]pp. Original brown cloth with gold lettering and publisher's logo on spine. Remarkable study on Philo Judaeus, the renowned Hellenistic Jewish Biblical philosopher born in Alexandria. Philo used philosophical allegory to attempt to fuse and harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy. His method followed the practices of both Jewish exegesis and Stoic philosophy. His allegorical exegesis was important for several Christian Church Fathers, but he has barely any reception history within Judaism. "The sophists of literalness," as he calls the literalist Jews, "opened their eyes superciliously" when he explained to them the marvels of his exegesis. He believed that literal interpretations of the Hebrew Bible would stifle mankind's view and perception of a God too complex and marvelous to be understood in literal human terms. Ex-library copy with bookplate on inside of front cover and stamp on free front endpaper, title page, and fore-edge of pages. Minor shelf wear. Slight age-toning along paper margin. Binding and interior in overall good to good+ condition.

Hardcover. Zustand: GOOD. First Edition. 12mo, brown cloth, gilt spine lettering. Tips a bit rubbed, clean and tight otherwise. Personal copy of Bruce Metzger with his signature d. 1940 to FFEP, pencil marks in margins with occasional notes, and paper clip to one page. Includes later letter from the author, d. 6 January, 1965 referencing the cancer he would soon die from. A powerful intersection of two towering figures in 20th century Biblical Studies: In 1940, Metzger received his MA from Princeton and began his first year as Professor of New Testament, a post he would hold in active status for 46 years. Goodenough held a parallel career bracketed back 20 years at Yale, and this Philo introduction was published at the height of his powers. Letter reads as follows: "[ADDRESS + DATE] Dear Bruce, In view of my suddenly discovered illness (an incurable(?) cancer) I cannot plan to go to Israel this summer and I must ask you to take my name from your list. I may last some time yet, but must cancel all distant plans. With best wishes Erwin.".
