Ranging from the films of Ross McElwee (Bright Leaves) and Agnes Varda (The Gleaners and I) to those of Abbas Kiarostami (Close Up) and Ari Folman (Waltz with Bashir), such films have intrigued viewers who at the same time have struggled to categorize them. Sometimes described as personal documentaries or diary films, these eclectic works are, rather, best understood as cinematic variations on the essay.

[183]-190) and indexes.Preliminary material -- An Overview of the Themes of this Book -- The Date of the Translation of the Pentateuch into Greek -- Demetrius of Phalerum Was a Trusted Employee of Ptolemy II -- Demetrius of Phalerum, Librarian in the Library of Ptolemy I -- Who wanted a Translation of the Pentateuch in Greek? -- Bibliography -- Appendix -- Index of Modern Authors.Ancient evidence reveals that the earliest, written translation of the Bible in Greek was completed in Alexandria in 281 BCE, probably by seventy-one scholars, invited especially from Judaea by Ptolemy II. The work was organised by Demetrius of Phalerum, the trusted librarian of Ptolemy II, and the translation was made despite Jewish opposition and the project's high cost. Ptolemy wanted the translation to increase his famous library, to attract scholars to Alexandria and to start his reign with an impressive event. The date of the translation, early in the reign of Ptolemy II, shows that the library was built by Ptolemy Lagus, and that Demetrius of Phalerum was first placed in charge.Supplements to Vetus Testamentum ;v. 82.Electronic books.221 s221.4/8Collins Nina L894462MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450257503321The library in Alexandria and the Bible in Greek1998203UNINA
