Flavius Josephus (37-100 CE) was born and raised in Jerusalem. He was an historian best known for writing The Jewish War in ca. 75 CE; this and his other works provide important information about Jewish history and early Christianity, and their popularity led to their translation into several languages.

This edition includes (3) plates by William Blake.
