The general articles in this issue discuss the allegorical interpretation of the Pentateuch in Alexandria, inscribing Aristobulus and Philo in a wider literary context; and (in French) Philo of Alexander and Plato. Special sections address in turn Philo's De Agricola and The Hypothetica, from such perspectives as the structure of the allegorical treatise De Agricultura, and colonial narratives and Philo's Roman accuser in the Hypothetica. An annotated bibliography for 2007 and a provisional bibliography 2008-10 cite works about Hellenic Jewish philosopher Philo (20BC-50AD). The volume concludes with 13 reviews of recently published books, the reviews in English, though not necessarily the books. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
