Biblical Hermeneutics,- and some Philo articles

Those of you who read Mark Goodacre's NTGateway Weblog(who doesn't?), will have observed his reference to a new new website focusing on Biblical Hermeneutics. Biblical hermeneutics is important also for philonic studies. What I miss on this site, however, is a somewhat greater focus on Jewish hermeneutics related to the Hebrew Scriptures. As it is now, if focuses mainly on hermeneutics from a Christian or more general perspective.

The owner of the site, Holger Szesnat, has also published some articles on Philo of Alexandria, and made them available on the Internett:
Philo and Female Homoeroticism: Philo's Use of GYNANDROS and Recent Work on Tribades. Journal for the Study of Judaism 30 (1999) 140-147.

'Pretty Boys' in Philo's De Vita Contemplativa. Studia Philonica Annual 10 (1998) 87-107. (a zip file containing scanned pictures of the article).

Philo and the Presence of the Therapeutrides at Lake Mareotis. Neotestamentica 32 (1998) 191-201 (This page contains links to scanned images of the article. You may download these files for your personal use only. The images are saved in the form of six GIF files, compressed into a ZIP file).
