This volume presents the works of Flavius Josephus, a crucial figure in understanding Jewish history during the Roman Empire. Josephus, a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, chronicled the history of the Jewish people with particular emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish-Roman War (66-70 CE), including the Siege of Jerusalem. His writings provide invaluable insight into the political and religious landscape of Judea during a tumultuous period. Benedictus Niese's editorial work enhances the accessibility and scholarly value of Josephus's accounts. A cornerstone for researchers and anyone interested in the history of Judaism and the ancient world.
