Description
Greco-Roman antiquity's premier Jewish historian, Josephus, brings to life the rich history of his people in "Jewish Antiquities". Born at Jerusalem around AD 37, Josephus was a man of high descent who became learned in both Jewish law and Greek literature. His experiences as a soldier, statesman, and historian provide invaluable insights into the complexities of ancient Jewish society. This two-volume work, comprising twenty books, covers the period from the creation of the world to AD 66, offering a unique perspective on the development of Judaism and its interactions with the surrounding cultures. Written in Greek, "Jewish Antiquities" is an essential source for understanding the historical context of the Jewish people. Complementing this work are other significant writings by Josephus, including his autobiographical account "Life" and his treatise "Against Apion". The Loeb Classical Library edition of Josephus' works provides a comprehensive collection of his major writings.
