Overview

Josephus was known during the medieval period through the medium of ancient Latin versions. In the 15th century doubts were expressed by scholars as to whether the Greek originals of his writings were still in existence.

The editio princeps of the Latin text of Josephus' Antiquitates Iudaicae and Bellum Iudaicum by Johann Schüssler was the first edition of any of Josephus' Works. Published only 14 years after Gutenberg's Bible, consists of the fourth-century Latin translation of the Bellum Iudaicum ascribed to Rufinus, and the sixth-century translation of the Antiquitates Iudaicae made at the behest of Cassiodorus.
