Flavius Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, is among the most important writers from classical antiquity. The significance of the works of Josephus as sources for our understanding of biblical history and of the political history of Palestine under Roman rule, can scarcely be overestimated.

This volume is part of the first comprehensive literary-historical commentary on the works of Flavius Josephus in English.

Flavius Josephus: Life of Josephus is also available in paperback (ISBN 978-03-91-04205-6).
