Description: JEWISH ANTIQUITIES (as titled on the spine). Being a rebound, English language edition of THE WORKS OF FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS, publisher and date unknown (circa 1700s). Large hardcover, 917 pages, with unpaginated or other material at the front and back. The book measures roughly 12.5 x 8 inches in size. There are three fold-out maps and a few illustrations. Fair condition only. Nicely rebound with red boards. The title page (and publishing information) is missing, and it's possible other pages are also missing. The tattered remnants of two page sets, which apparently could not be bound-in, have been left loose, between the pages. But the rest of the paginated pages appear to be complete. The pages have very heavy soiling, staining (including water staining), foxing, scuffs, creases, waviness, chips, and tears. Some of the pages are quite tattered, especially along the edges. A small number of pages have inscriptions or short notations. A few pages have imprints from pressed leaves and flowers left between pages. The binding is quite firm. The book opens with a map, a few pages of introductory matter, and an appendix. This is followed by the "Jewish Antiquities" section, which consists of twenty titled "books". This is followed by the "Wars of the Jews" section, which consists of seven more "books". This is followed by "The Life of Flavius Josephus". Then comes Flavius Josephus "in Answer to Apion" and "Discourse of the Maccabees". Then comes "Philo's Account of his Embassy from the Jews of Alexandria, to the Emperor Caius Caligula", followed by some indexes. It's possible some of these sections were originally published separately, and were collected together when the book was rebound. Although I do not have the title page to go by, the book bears a definite resemblance to the early 1700s edition translated into English by Sir Roger L'estrange, with maps by Edward Wells. I leave it up to the buyer to decide. FREE ECONOMY SHIPPING to the U.S. For international sales, I use eBay's Global Shipping Program, so please review the shipping cost before purchasing.
