About this title

Synopsis

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.
