CONTENTS: VOL I ([2], 520 pages), published in 1773-VOL II (502 pages), published in 1774-VOL III (485 pages), published in 1775-VOL IV ([2], 506, [22] pages), published in 1775. This mixed-publisher set of the complete four volumes helped bring Josephus' works to the Thirteen Colonies just before their independence from Great Britain. Initiated by publisher John McGibbons, the monumental task was funded directly through pre-orders, leaning on subscriber patronage to underwrite the massive printing costs. Production evolved into an inter-colonial collaboration across major printing hubs: William and Thomas Bradford set Volume I in Philadelphia in 1773, while subsequent volumes were produced in New York by firms including Hodge and Shober and Shober and Loudon through 1775. Revered by colonial readers for its blend of biblical context and classical Roman history, Sir Roger L'Estrange's popular English translation gave early Americans direct access to Josephus's foundational accounts. 1416973.
