O que vês? / O que lês?: imagináveis aproximações entre Fílon e Zacarias

In this note, I propose a discussion based on the possibility of comparison between the Philo of Alexandria's allegorical interpretation, and the one used in Zechariah’s book. By using selected examples, in which I have found similarities and dissimilarities between both authors, I aim to demonstrate that the semiotic difference of the object read in the prophet's text must be taken into account when compared to Philo's “textual” allegorical interpretation. At the end, I try to expose a reflection on the tradition of allegorical readers (or readings) and the place of Zechariah's text in it.
