Publisher's Synopsis
Aristeae ad Philocratem Epistula est epistula antiqua graeca, quae ad Philocratem, Alexandriam regis bibliothecarium, attribuitur. In epistula, Aristeas, qui se Iasonis Thessalorum filium esse dicit, narrat de sua missione ad Aegyptum, ut librum legis Moysi in Graecum converteret. Aristeas describit etiam miracula, quae acciderunt in Aegypto, et suum colloquium cum sacerdotibus. Epistula admodum importantia est, quia de translatione Septuaginta interpretum, Graecae versionis Veteris Testamenti, loquitur. Aristeae Ad Philocratem Epistula est una ex antiquissimis Graeciae litteris, et adhuc est studiis classicis valde utile.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
