• See Josephus Studies

The editio princeps of Hegesippus appeared in 1510, a few decades after the first edition of the Latin Josephus in 1470, and before the editio princeps of Josephus' Greek text in 1544.

A critically revised text appeared under the title Hegesippus qui dicitur sive Egesippus de bello Judaico ope codicis Casellani recognitus, ed. Weber, opus morte Weberi iuterruptum absolvit Caesar (Marburg, 1864)
