_______________
The first English Edition of Josephus was printed in 1602.
A controversial figure, Josephus remains undeniably important in history, literature and the arts. His historical works—The Jewish War, Antiquities of the Jews, Against Apion and his autobiography or Apologia— are "among the most valuable sources for the study of early Judaism and early Christianity" (Columbia University Press)."Without [these writings] little would have been known of the history of the Second Temple nor would it have been possible to write such a history… In point of literary talent Josephus ranks among the leading writers in world literature. His style is epic, his portrayals plastic, his gift of description captivates the reader alike by its fidelity and its colorful presentation" (Encyclopedia Judaica).
Thomas Lodge, was the first to publish the writings of Josephus in English, in 1602.
The first printed Latin Edition edition of Josephus was published by Johann Schussler in Augsburg, printed in 1470. (The first printed book ever was the Gutenberg Bible printed in 1455.)
The first printed Greek Edition of Josephus was published by Frobenius and Episcopius (Basel, printed in 1544).
The first English translation, by Thomas Lodge, appeared in 1602, with subsequent editions appearing throughout the 17th century.______
The works of Josephus are major sources of our understanding of Jewish life and history during the first century.
