Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. American edition. Sewn binding in full cloth-covered boards, in dustjacket. American edition, but printed (and presumably bound) in England, and it shows. The real cloth covers are bound in smooth, dark-blue cloth, similar to the binding of older Oxford University Press books, and the gilt spine titles are bright. Binding firm, with intact hinges. Some wear at bottom edges, and wear and smudging near top edge front panel. Pages lightly toned. ***A few small stains on page-edges.*** As the book's spine is so lovely, you may want to dispense with the rather ugly, price-clipped dustjacket; the laminate has separated in spots, especially over the hinges, and is missing at the edges, which have accumulated some grime as a result. Small "dot" label on dj spine. Frontispiece and reproduction of a page of MS (illustrateur).…

Hardcover. Etat : g- to g+. Later edition. 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.
