Philology as a branch of linguistics

"Iinguistics

noun

the scientific study of language and its structure, including the study of grammar, syntax, and phonetics. Specific branches of linguistics include sociolinguistics, dialectology, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, comparative linguistics, and structural linguistics."

The definition of "linguistics" above is from the Google's dictionary.

My question is: is philology a specific branch of linguistics?
