2005 issue of Studia Philonica published!

David T. Runia, one of the two editors of Studia Philonica writes:

I am delighted to be able to announce that this year’s issue of The Studia Philonica Annual has been published by Brown Judaic Studies. Once again it is filled with articles and reviews on Philo, as well as bibliographical aids for those interested in Philonic studies. The Annual is well produced and moderately priced. It would be great if both libraries and individual scholars supported the work of the editorial team by purchasing the volume. More information can be found on the Annual’s website, www.nd.edu/~philojud.
