A compendious and most marveilous history of the latter tymes of the Jewes commune weale (1558) is a book by Peter Morwen.
Abstract
Morwen's English translation of the Sefer Josippon was phenomenally successful, since the work was believed to be Josephus's own Hebrew version of his history. It was reprinted 13 times between 1558 and 1615, and then a further 12 times in the later 17th century in a version edited by James Howell. There was no English version of the Jewish War until Lodge's complete translation of Josephus in 1602.
