More DescriptionThe Book of Wisdom is regarded as a precious document of the Alexandrian Jewish diaspora. During the 20th century, a considerable number of studies has beendedicated to the Alexandrian culture. This research requires a review of its â__enjeux méthodologiquesâ__ and a more ample and complete â__historical approachâ__ seems to be necessary in order to comprehend to which extent the author might have been influenced by his social background.
