A propos de cet article

Elephant folio. VI, 7-718pp., 53 plates plus frontispiece emgraving by Charles Grignion. Bound in blue buckram. Accentuated initials and decorative tailpieces. Marginalia. Remarkable edition of the works of Flavius Josephus, providing crucial information about the First Jewish-Roman War and an important literary source material for understanding the context of the Dead Sea Scrolls and late Temple Judaism. 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). "The Jewish War" recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation (66-70). "Antiquities of the Jews" recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into First Century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity. This book is exquisitely illustrated with 52 copper plates engravings after the foremost English artists, numerous by Charles Grignion, a noted 18th century historical line engraver, William Blake's "The Fugitive Shechemites," James Tookey, Thomas Warner, Samuel Sparrow, among others. Contains a map of the Persian Empire, engraved by T. Bowen. Age wear on binding with spine and edges age-toned/discolored. Spine rebacked with repairs to the head and tail of the spine. Rubbing along edges. Modern endpapers. Minor and sporadic foxing and browning throughout. 1/3 of the Jerusalem folding map torn and missing from its lower center to its upper right. Binding in overall good-, interior in good+ condition. Binding protected by modern mylar.…
