A propos de cet article

The Whole Genuine and Complete Works of Flavius Josephus The Learned and Authentic Jewish Historian and Celebrated Warrior Containing [lots of things] Translated from the Original in the Greek Language To which is added Various Useful Indexes Also a continuation of the History of the Jews By George Henry Maynard Embellished with Sixty beautiful engravings, taken from original drawings and engraved by American Artists. New York. Printed and sold by William Durell, at his Book Shop. No 208 Pearl Street near the Fly-Market. MDCCXCIV [1794] Folio. 723 pages. Full leather binding. Front cover and the first 60 pages are detached from the text block (but firmly attached to each other). Pages 61-70 (the sixth signature) are detached. Text block solid form pages 71-678. Then the 57th signature is loose. Pages 687-724 are firmly attached to the back cover, but detached from the text block. Pages are faded and foxed. Some more than others, as it was printed on different quality papers. Overall dimensions are 11 x 17 x 3 inches. Covers are worn and scuffed with evidence of early resewing along the spine. Original spine and spine label present, but chipped. The title page is tattered and torn, with some missing pieces but scarcely affecting the text. The frontispiece engraving is even more ragged, but on the back of it is the ownership name, Geo Allen and below that, Norfolk. Allen s name appears signed elsewhere in the book as well. The title page calls for 60 engravings. This copy has 22 of them. They are large, full page, engravings of historical scenes. Many seem to involve people being stabbed. There is a nice Parting of the Red Sea. The works of Josephus in 20 books. Each book has a decorative header, with a bird holding up a garland, with the assistance of flanking cherubs. The title The American Edition of Josephus 1792 appears in an oval on each of these decorative headers. It is an unusual amount of decoration for an American imprint. The full page engravings are unusual for an American book of this period as well. Joseph was a first century scholar, a Jewish Roman, whose records of Jewish history has been of continued interest to historian and theologians since the Renaissance. It was first translated into English in 1602. I can find no earlier US edition than the 1792 Durell edition; this is the 1794 edition. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that its an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.…
