This scholar has been ignored on this forum site, presumably because he has not been translated? I've just discovered him, accidentally, in a reference to a late work that I wish to examine, esp. three pages: in L. Cerfaux and J. Tondriau,
Un concurrent du Christianisme. Le culte des souverains dans la civilisation gréco-romaine (Paris 1957) pp.218-220.
encyclopedia dot com tantalizes me with this nugget:
Cerfaux's scholarly activity falls into two periods. In his first period, Cerfaux was principally interested in the New Testament environment. He devoted his time and writing to Gnosticism, the mystery religions, Alexandrine Judaism, and the Apostolic Fathers. After 1936, his main interest was New Testament exegesis.
Of course, I have just (lately) found
this, his important 1924 essay. As always I am intrigued by any published pre-1938 scholars investigating the intersection of Philo, the Hermetica and Alexandrian Judaism/Jewish Gnosticism in the First C.
How is this scholar viewed, now? Dismissed, forgotten entirely?
