First words
PREFACE TO VOLUME IX
The six treatises or parts of treatises in this volume are of a very different nature from the eight preceding volumes.
INTRODUCTION TO QUOD OMNIS PROBIS LIBER SIT
This treatise is usually believed to be a youthful essay of Philo's and we may well suppose that it belongs to a period of his life when he still had the dialectic of the philosophical schools fresh in his mind and before he had settled down to his life's work of interpreting the Pentateuch.
