AI translated via Neil Godfrey, with the bulk of the cross referencing citations by Paul Scheffers. I worked with AI over time to try to ensure the translation was faithful to Bauer’s text while at the same time being readable for most of us. I have preserved the pagination of the German publication.
Throughout this work Bauer cites the 1691 printing of the 1613 Höschel edition of Philo. These references are obsolete. Today readers are likely to refer to the Loeb Classical Library’s Colson and Whitaker translation or Yonge’s translation of Philo for the complete works. The title breaks and numbering references found in these modern translations are based on the Cohn-Wendland edition of Philo that was published between 1896 and 1915. Thanks to the cross-referencing work of Paul Cheffers Bauer’s obsolete citations are matched with modern equivalents. Despite our efforts we cannot guarantee complete accuracy in every case but hopefully enough information is given to reasonably direct readers to relevant source material in Philo. —–
