Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT), sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - PREFACE -- This third volume of Fragments from Hellenistic Jewish Authors contains the extant fragments of Aristobulus, the earliest known Jewish philosopher. I had intended to include with this volume the pseudo-Orphic material and the pseudonymous Greek poets, but because of the size of this volume these will be treated in subsequent volumes. A comprehensive index to all the volumes will be included in the final volume. -- Several persons have been unusually helpful in the preparation of this manuscript, but none more than Nikolaus Walter whose Der Thoraausleger Aristobulos (1964) still remains the definitive work in the field. He very generously supplied me with the preparatory notes and early drafts of his own edition of these fragments begun in the late 1960�s. He has cooperated with me at every stage of my work, giving freely of both his time and resources. Especially memorable are the visits to his home in Naumburg/Saale in both 1991 and 1995 when I not only enjoyed the hospitality of his family, but also consulted with him on many text-critical and other interpretive questions. These consultations have been invaluable. -- Many years ago in a seminar devoted to these texts at Yale, Ben Fiore prepared the initial translation of the texts from Eusebius. This has provided the basis for my translation, although I have made many changes. Like all students of Aristobulus, we have relied heavily on Gifford. -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- INTRODUCTION -- Manuscripts -- Symbols Used in Apparatus Criticus Abbreviations Used in Apparatus Criticus -- Bibliography - Sources for the Fragments -- Bibliography - General -- Bibliography - Abbreviations -- Other Abbreviations -- ARISTOBULUS -- Introduction -- Notes to Introduction -- Bibliography - Aristobulus -- Index to Editions and Translations -- Testimonia -- Fragments - Texts and Translations -- Fragment 1 -- Fragment 2 -- Fragment 3 -- Fragment 4 -- Fragment 5 -- Annotations -- INDICES.
