The Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia also has an article on Philo of Alexandria. You can find it here.
Wikipedia is a a free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In the English version, started in 2001, there are currently working on 453273 articles. The encyclopedia has versions in several languages; each one are made separately. Hence an article in one edition does not automatically show up in the others. There is even a Norwegian edition, but with no article on Philo. What a shame......
I have my reservations of thought about such a free encyclopedia in which anyone can write; can it ever be trustful? However, having only skimmed the Philo article today, my impression is that it in general is well informed and hence informative.
Has anyone out there read it more thoroughly, and has an independent opinion about it? Please use the Comment field below and tell us about your impression.
