Instructions to Contributors

1.The Studia Philonica Annual accepts articles for publication in the area of Hellenistic Judaism, with special emphasis on Philo and his Umwelt. Articles on Josephus will be given consideration if they focus on his relation to Judaism and classical culture (and not on primarily historical subjects). The languages in which the articles may be pub lished are English, French and German. Translations from Italian or Dutch into English can be arranged at a modest cost to the author.

2. Since the Annual is being produced with a minimum of secretarial assistance, the editors request with some insistence that all articles and reviews be submitted on microdiskette. In the case of longer articles, contributions submitted as typescript will only be accepted by way of exception. For the formatting of submitted material the editors have the following order of preference:
(a) Macintosh, formatted preferably in MS-Word, using SMK Greek (or SuperGreek) and SuperHebrew;
(b) MS-DOS or Windows formatted in Word or WordPerfect. Users of Nota Bene are requested to submit a copy exported in a format compatible with Word.

In all cases it is imperative that a hard copy accompany the text on diskette, and that authors gives full details of the word processor used. No handwritten Greek or Hebrew can be accepted. Authors are requested not to vocalize their Hebrew (except when necessary) and to keep their use of this language to a reasonable minimum. It should always be borne in mind that not all readers of the Annual can be expected to read Greek or Hebrew. Transliteration is permissible for incidental terms.

3.With regard to the citation of scholarly references the Annual will henceforth subscribe to the conventions embodied in the following examples (note (i) that no publishers' names are given, (ii) for articles single quotation marks are used, and (iii) that books and journals are italicized, series are not):

• A. Mendelson, Secular Education in Philo of Alexandria, Monographs of the Hebrew Union College 7 (Cincinnati 1982) 15-27.
• Y. Amir, 'The Transference of Greek Allegories to Biblical Motifs in Philo', in F.E. Greenspahn, E. Hilgert, B. L. Mack (edd.), Nourished with Peace: Studies in Hellenistic Judaism in Memory of Samuel Sandmel, Scholars Press Homage Series 9 (Chico, California 1984) 15-25.
• J. P. Martín, 'El encuentro de exégesis y filosofia en Filón Alejandrino', Revista Biblica 46 (1984) 199-211.
• Mendelson op. cit. (n. 0) 23ff.
• Amir, art. cit. (n.0) 1618 or Martín 'El encuentro' 199-201.

It is also possible to give references by author and date in the footnotes only, with full details presented in a bibliography at the end of the article, as in the following example:

In notes:

See Kraemer (1989) 351; Mangey (1742) 2.134; Nikiprowetzky (1977) 251.

In bibliography;

• R. S. Kraemer, 'Monastic Jewish Women in Greco-Roman Egypt: Philo Judaeus on the Therapeutrides', Signs (Chicago) 14 (1989) 342-370.
• T. Mangey, Philonis Judaei opera quae reperiri potuerunt omnia, 2 vols. (London 1742).
• V. Nikiprowetzky, Le commentaire de l'Écriture chez Philon d'Alexandrie: son caractère et sa portée; observations philologiques, ALGHJ 11 (Leiden 1977).

For the abbreviations to be used, see further below. A sound guide to the way that Philonic scholarship should be cited will be found in R. Radice and D. T. Runia, Philo of Alexandria: an Annotated Bibliography 1937-1986, VCSup 8 (Leiden 1988). Note that with regard to the use of capitals in citing English references, both English-American and conti-nental European conventions are permissible.

4.The following abbreviations are to be used in both articles and book reviews.
(a) Philonic treatises are to be abbreviated according to the following list. Numeration is according to Cohn and Wendland's edition, using Arabic numbers only (e.g. Spec. 4.123). Note that De Providentia should be cited according to Aucher's edition, and not the LCL translation of the fragments by F. H. Colson.

(c) Biblical books, Pseudepigraphical, Qumran, Rabbinic and Gnostic literature are to be abbreviated as recommended in the SBL Handbook of Style published by Hendrickson Publishers. Note that biblical books are not italicized and that between chapter and verse a colon is placed (placement of a full stop after the abbreviation is optional, provided the author is consistent). Authors writing in German or French should follow their own conventions for biblical citations.

(d) Classical and Patristic authors should be cited in the manner recommended by the three Oxford lexica:

• H. G. Liddell, R. Scott , H. S. Jones (edd.), A Greek-English Lexicon, 9th edition with supplement (Oxford 1996);
• P. G. W. Glare (ed.), The Oxford Latin Dictionary (Oxford 1982);
• G. W. H. Lampe (ed.), A Patristic Greek Lexicon (Oxford 1961).

Preferred abbreviations for Josephus, however, are AJ, BJ, c. Ap., and Vita, but English abbreviations (Antiquities, War, etc.) are permitted. Once again consistency is the first requirement.
