Against Flaccus
A 1st c. treatise by Philo of Alexandria.
Philo of Alexandria
c. 20 BC – c. 50 AD · 1st c. · 42 works
Philo of Alexandria was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher whose Greek treatises read the Pentateuch through a Platonic and Stoic lens, pioneering the allegorical exegesis that the Alexandrian Fathers would inherit.
His doctrine of the divine Logos and his allegorical method left a deep mark on Clement and Origen, making him an indispensable background to patristic interpretation of Scripture.
