Henry St John Thackeray (Translator)
“”The Letter of Aristeas”” is a historical text written by Henry St. John Thackeray in 1904. The book centers around the letter written by Aristeas, a Greek courtier, to his brother Philocrates, detailing his journey to Alexandria to translate the Hebrew scriptures into Greek for the library of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The letter provides insight into the translation process and the cultural exchange between the Greeks and Jews during the Hellenistic period. Thackeray’s edition includes a detailed introduction, notes, and appendices that provide additional context and analysis of the text. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in ancient history, biblical studies, and the intersection of Greek and Jewish scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
