neilgodfrey suggested above that I "read more." I have.

When I was at Brandeis U. circa 1970 I took a course on Autobiography. We read lots of them. My paper compared and contrasted Augustine, Confessions and Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
I think Augustine wrote his, and I don't know any reason to think such is seriously debatable. Others may.

Yesterday, I wrote, above, in part: "Aristobulus of Alexandria lived before Philo, and Aristobulus considered the Hebrew Torah to be old, older than the 270s, and also older than Plato, surely. RE Gmirkin wrote, in part (Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible, 2016, endnote 150): "Aris...

I do not know what Stephan Huller (Secret Alias) has done vis-a-vis Vridar blog, but I do know that I was told that I, with my real name, was told by the blog owner that I have no place there. So I do not consider it a fair source.

Well, maybe Aristobulus of Alexandria?

Though not everything Philo wrote may be reliable, he surely was interested in Bible, and may be said to have done some research, including, according to On Providence 2.64, a visit to Jerusalem. One need not read every single word written by, say, L. Ron Hubbard, to determine that he was not writin...

RE Gmirkin (March 14, above) did cite M Lockwood as evidence of translation at the Library of Alexandria, followed by:
"So there is considerable evidence for the Great Library translating as many works in "barbaric" (non-Greek) languages as it could obtain."
