On the
The coding Humanist weblog there are some 'musings' about what group of texts are most relevant as background material for NT studies. On one list Philo is ranked 5th., on another 6th. Hm, have they ever read Philo?? :-) I would e.g., have ranked him above the NT apocrypha.
Second, there are suggestions about texts that should be made available in digitalized and tagged form for morphological searches. As stated in one posting;
Philo is free in electronic translation, cheap in print translation (Yonge), reasonably priced in original language (Loeb), expensive in electronic Greek (TLG) and textual apparatus (Cohn-Wendland), and not available at all tagged for morphology (to my knowledge). I might add here that at the last
SBL Annual Meeting, there were initial contacts between a software provider and persons involved in the
Norwegian Philo Concordance project. As you may know from the homepage of the
Norwegian Philo Concordance Project, the texts of Philo are already tagged, but they are not yet available for the general public.
I, for my part, would really do hope that the initial contact made in San Antonio will result in a project that makes the texts of Philo available to all in a digitalised and tagged format.
If any of you who reads this would be interested in seeing such a project fulfilled, please leave a note of support in the comment field below.
