About MyBook
David T Runia is Master of Queen’s College and Professorial Fellow in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne. He has published extensively on the writings and thought of Philo of Alexandria, and has been editor of The Studia Philonica Annual since 1989.
"This volume continues the excellent work of the International Philo Project. [...] for specialists in different fields [...] well-edited bibliographies are an indispensible resource, and this is a particularly fine series of its kind due to both the arrangement of material and the quality of its content. The quality of the contributions lies in their lucidity and concision; the commitment to accuracy and accountability; and the growing emphasis on breadth. [...] this book is now available electronically as a searchable PDF, via Brill Online in Open Access!" – Jane Heath, Durham University, in: The Expository Times 125(3) (2013)
"Eines der nützlichsten Hilfsmittel der Philoforschung ist das Philo of Alexandria Bibliography Project unter der Leitung von David T. Runia [...] Die Bibliographie selbst ist in Primärtexte zu Philos Schriften und kritische Studienaufgeteilt [...]. Die Kurzbeschreibungen fassen die Hauptthese, den Inhalt und die verschiedenen Themenbereiche der Beiträge zusammen [...] Allein schon diese Beschreibungen sind von immensen Wert in der Forschung zu Philo. Was die Buchform jedoch qualitativ von den schon im Studia Philonica Annual enthaltenen Listen unterscheidet, ist die Zufügung der Indizes [...] Diese Indizes ermöglichen die gezielte Forschung zu konkreten Themen und erleichtern die Arbeit an Philo für Laien, Studenten wie auch Experten. [...] wird der nächste Band sicher schon von vielen lebhaft erwartet." – Jutta Leonhardt-Balzer, Aberdeen, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 138 (2013), 6
