In the last decades, we have seen several introductions to Philo of Alexandria being published, but no volume introducing the reader to Philo by a relevant selection of his texts has been available. Hence this volume is especially needed. I welcome and salute the idea, the efforts of collecting and translating these texts, and the result of presenting this introduction to Philo’s texts and their central topics and themes.
