Format: Hardcover, 926pp- REV
The writings of Josephus-The first-century
Jewish historian-are indispensable to
a proper understanding of Jewish thought, background, and history up to and around the
time of Christ. Here's what makes this one-volume edition of the works of Josephus
the best available:
- More readable. The entire text has been
retyped in modern, easy-to-read type.
- Easier to use. The Loeb Numbering
System (now the standard way to cite Josephus) has been added to make it easier to locate
passages referred to in other reference works. Also, all citations and cross
references have been updated from the roman numerals to the modern form of citation, and
Greek words occurring in the text have been transliterated.
- More Complete. The complete text and notes
of the four volume set are included. Other one-volume editions of Josephus
only include abridged notes. Also, the indexes in this edition have been
thoroughly corrected and expanded, and maps have been included to provide additional geographical
information.
