書籍簡介

約瑟夫斯，士兵，政治家，歷史學家，是大約公元37年出生在耶路撒冷的猶太人。他出身高貴，很早就開始學習猶太律法和希臘文學，是法利賽人。在羅馬為一些猶太祭司的事業辯護之後，他回到耶路撒冷，並在66年試圖阻止反抗羅馬，為猶太人管理加利利的事務。在隨後的麻煩中，他與維斯帕先講和。在耶路撒冷被提多圍困時，他得到了這兩位皇帝和多米提安的青睞，改稱弗拉維烏斯。他在97歲之後去世。

作為歷史資料，約瑟夫斯是無價的。主要著作有:《猶太戰爭史》，共七卷(Loeb版本共三卷)，從公元前170年到他自己的時代，早期是用阿拉姆語寫成的，但被他自己翻譯成了現在的希臘語;和《猶太文物》，共二十卷(九卷)，從創世到公元66年。

約瑟夫斯的古典圖書館版本還包括自傳生活和他的論文。

Josephus, soldier, statesman, historian, was a Jew born at Jerusalem about 37 CE. A man of high descent, he early became learned in Jewish law and Greek literature and was a Pharisee. After pleading in Rome the cause of some Jewish priests he returned to Jerusalem and in 66 tried to prevent revolt against Rome, managing for the Jews the affairs of Galilee. In the troubles which followed he made his peace with Vespasian. Present at the siege of Jerusalem by Titus, he received favours from these two as emperors and from Domitian and assumed their family name Flavius. He died after 97.

As a historical source Josephus is invaluable. His major works are: History of the Jewish War, in seven books (the Loeb edition is in three volumes), from 170 BCE to his own time, first written in Aramaic but translated by himself into the Greek we now have; and Jewish Antiquities, in twenty books (nine volumes), from the creation of the world to 66 CE.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of the works of Josephus also includes the autobiographical Life and his treatise Against Apion.
