Ad Philocratem epistula; cum ceteris de origine versionis 70 interpretum testimoniis, edited by Paulus Wendland using the notes of Ludwig Mendelssohn, delves into the origins of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. This scholarly work, originally published in 1900, examines the Letter of Aristeas (addressed to Philocrates), a pseudepigraphic text that recounts the legendary circumstances surrounding the creation of the Septuagint by seventy (or seventy-two) Jewish scholars in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. Wendland's edition provides a valuable resource for understanding the historical and cultural context of this pivotal translation and its enduring influence on both Judaism and Christianity. The book also includes additional testimonies relating to the origin of the Septuagint, offering a comprehensive overview of early perspectives on this important work.
