men, philosophy, politics, natural science, law Jewish
and pagan, psychology, and ethics impresses one only
less than the sublime spirit, simplicity transcending
complexity, in which all these things are brought to-

sence of Philo's position." The "key" to understand-
ing Philo will at last appear to be not his Judaism,
his mysticism, his Stoicism, his Platonism, or any of
the other aspects of the man, but the man himself.


NOTES--CHAPTER II

Jesu Christi (4th ed., Leipzig), III ( 1911), §34, I. English transla-
tion ( Edinburgh, 1893), II, iii, §84, I.
2. L. Massebleau, "Le classement des œuvres de Philon," Biblio-
thèque de l'École des Hautes Études . . . Sciences religiouses, I

4. Wm. Schmid, in the 6th edition of William Christ, Geschichte
der griechischen Litteratur, II, i ( 1920), 625 ff. ( I. von Müller,
Handbuch der klassischen Altertums-Wiesenschaft, VII.)
5. Cohn, op. cit., 421-424, largely followed Massebieau, op. cit. ,
65-78. They seem better here than Schürer. On the purpose of the
Legatio the reader will get much from H. Leisegang, "Philons
Schrift über die Gesandtschaft der alexandrinischen Juden an den
Kaiser Gaius Caligula," Journal of Biblical Literature, LVII
( 1938), 377-405, and from Philonis Alexandrini in Flaccum, edited
with an Introduction, Translation, and Commentary, by Herbert Box
, London, 1939.
6. In my Philo's Politics, Chap. I. Here the political realism of
the two documents is elaborated.
7. For this literature see the Bibliography, pp. 282-289.
8. The English reader will best use E. H. Gifford translation,
Oxford, 1903.
