I have several series that have writings on Josephus (at least according to my library search on "Josephus"). How would you rate/compare them?
- Flavius Josephus
- Gottingen Septuagint
-Works of Flavius Josephus (Niese Edition)
thanks!
Works of Flavius Josephus (Niese Edition)
That is currently the best Greek edition of Josephus. It also contains a critical apparatus.
Gottingen Septuagint
That is the Greek translation of the OT. Sometimes Josephus supports a reading of the Septuagint. It cannot of course be "on Josephus" because the Septuagint pre-dates Josephus.
Flavius Josephus
Could you be more specific?

Thanks, for the last entry it is "Flavius Josephus: Translation and Commentary Vols 3-5 by Mason (and other authors on each volume).
"Flavius Josephus: Translation and Commentary Vols 3-5 by Mason (and other authors on each volume).
It is a very good translation and the best commentary you can find. Excellent resource!!!

Thanks! Are volumes 1-2 not available?
EDIT: Never mind, I see them now. Flavius Josephus on the Pharisees and Flavius Josephus: Life of Josephus. Just didn't have "Volume" in their title!
Thanks again David for your expertise!
Actually The series is not yet complete:
http://www.brill.nl/publications/flavius-josephus-translation-and-commentary
Volume 1b was published and also 9-10.
Note that Volumes 1-2 deal with the Judean revolt against the Romans. So if you are interested in the parallels to the OT you already have everything you want.
Ah. Thanks for the education David! They seem like some books to look forward to!
