Jewish School of Ancient Greek Philosophy Texts

3 authors • 44 works

"Jewish" on this site is a later grouping label, not the name of an ancient school, and the approved reference sources carry no entry for it as a philosophical school or tradition in the Greek and Roman world. The label collects authors who wrote in Greek while standing inside the Jewish tradition of scripture — γραφή (graphē), "writing", is the word these authors use for it.

Three authors are filed under it, all writing in the koine dialect around the 1st century BCE to the 1st century CE in Alexandria: Philo of Alexandria, an anonymous Alexandrian philosopher, and Pseudo-Phocylides. They share a place, a period, and a language rather than a common teaching; the affiliation page does not claim a founder, a succession, or a shared doctrine for them.
