Josephus' Works

• LIST OF SCHOLARLY AND FICTIONAL WORKS: see Category:Josephus' Works (subject)

Josephus' Works are a corpus of works authored at the end of the first century CE by the Jewish historian Josephus.

Overview

Josephus were known in the Middle Ages through the Latin versions of his works and mostly, through the Latin and Hebrew paraphrases of the Bellum Iudaicum (Hegesippus and Josippon, respectively).

No surprisingly, the editio princeps (1470 Schüssler) published the Latin version, on which the first translations also were based.

With the publication of the editio princeps of the Greek text in 1544, began the critical work to recover the "original" Josephus and also came the first translations based on the Greek.
