History of Research (1700s) -- Notes

A text of the complete works, revised after manuscripts, was furnished by John Hudson (2 vols., Oxford, 1720). Then came the editions of Siwart Havercamp (2 vols., Amsterdam, Leyden, Utrecht, 1726), and of Franz Oberthür (3 vols., Leipzig, 1782-85).

The English translation by William Whiston (1737) emerged as the most popular among the many that were published during the 18th century in England: by Roger L'Estrange (1702); John Court (1733); Ebenezer Thompson and William Charles Price (2 vols., 1777-78); Charles Clarke and James Yorke (1785-87); George Henry Maynard and Edward Kimpton (1785); and Thomas Bradshaw (1792)]. These translations also included 4 Maccabees and Philo's Legatio ad Gaium. The Maynard and Bradshaw editions also added a brief history of the Jewish people from the destruction of the Temple to the present.

Outside England three major translations appeared: in Dutch by Peter Mortier (Amsterdam, 1704), in Swedish by Maria Gustava Gyllenstierna, and in Italian by Francesco Angiolini.
