Jüdische Altertümer
Flavius Josephus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten jüdischen Historiker. In den «Antiquitates Judaicae», den «Jüdischen Altertümern», dokumentiert er in 20 Büchern die 5000-jährige jüdische Geschichte – angefangen bei der Weltschöpfung bis zum Ausbruch des Jüdischen Aufstandes im Jahr 66 n. Chr. Sein Werk ist nicht nur ein beeindruckendes Beispiel fundierter Geschichtsschreibung, es ist auch nahezu die einzige Quelle für die Ereignisse des 1. Jahrhunderts vor und nach unserer Zeitrechnung. Die «Antiquitates Judaicae» des Flavius Josephus sind von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Geschichte des antiken Judentums. Dem römisch-jüdischen Historiker gelingt hier nicht allein das Kunststück, 5000 Jahre jüdische Geschichte von der Urzeit bis zum Jahr 66 n.Chr. in lebendig-eleganten und mitreißenden Schilderungen minuziös wieder aufleben zu lassen. Für die Zeitspanne vom 1. Jahrhundert vor und nach unserer Zeitrechnung – jene Phase innerhalb der jüdischen Geschichte, die sich von der Hasmonäerzeit bis über die ersten christlichen Jahrzehnte erstreckt -, ist sein Werk darüber hinaus die nahezu einzige Quelle, da Josephus sich hier auf andere, der Nachwelt nicht erhaltene Texte und Urkunden stützt. Wichtige Quellen für die 20 Bücher der «Antiquitates Judaicae» sind daneben die Bibel, die Apokryphen und der Midrasch. Außerdem beruft Josephus sich auf zahlreiche griechische Historiker und Gelehrte wie etwa Strabon, Poseidonios und Nikolaos von Damaskus. Der vorliegenden Edition liegt die Übersetzung von Dr. Heinrich Clementz zu Grunde. Wissenschaftlich betreut und durchgehend mit der Paragraphenzählung nach Benedikt Niese versehen wurde die Ausgabe von Prof. Dr. Michael Tilly.

Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. He fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War, including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94).

Divided into seven books, it opens with a summary of Jewish history from the capture of Jerusalem by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164 BC to the first stages of the First Jewish–Roman War (Book I and II). The next five books detail the unfolding of the war, under Roman generals Vespasian and Titus, to the death of the last Sicarii. "The History of the Jewish People" or The Antiquities of the Jews is a 20-volume historiographical work composed by Flavius Josephus in the 13th year of the reign of Roman emperor Flavius Domitian. The book contains an account of history of the Jewish people, written in Greek for Josephus' gentile patrons. In the first ten volumes, Josephus follows the events of the historical books of the Hebrew Bible beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve. The second ten volumes continue the history of the Jewish people beyond the biblical text and up to the Jewish War.
