Philo of Alexandria; C.E. Richter (ed.)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is the 1834 edition of Philo of Alexandria's 'Opera Omnia' edited by C.E. Richter. This is a collection of Philo's works in the original Greek (often with Latin translations provided in parallel columns in 19th-century editions). While Philo's works have been translated into English many times from the original Greek (most notably in the Loeb Classical Library series), the specific 1834 Richter edition—which serves as a scholarly compilation of the Greek text—has not been translated into English as a distinct entity. Therefore, while English translations of Philo exist, there is no translation of this specific 1834 Greek-language compilation.

Philo of Alexandria turns the stories of Genesis into a rigorous psychological manual. He argues that human progress is not about history, but about the soul’s desperate, upward climb toward divine reason.
