Josephus and the Jews

Viac o knihe

The works of Flavius Josephus have long been widely circulated. Although well known and freely quoted, on the whole the writings of Josephus are rarely read intelligently.This volume constructs a consistent history out of Josephus' voluminous literary output. It supplies the key to the study of this ancient author who, with all his defects, was not only a remarkable man and an historian of exceptional value, but also as a person is worthy of study.
