On the Creation of the World (De opificio mundi)

English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

Philo of Alexandria wrote 'De opificio mundi' in Greek. The work has been translated into English many times from the original Greek (e.g., the Loeb Classical Library edition). The 1889 text in question is a Latin edition (a translation of the Greek into Latin). There is no evidence that this specific Latin translation has ever been translated into English; English translations of Philo are consistently made from the Greek original. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.
