“And when the book of Daniel was showed to Alexander the Great, wherein Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he supposed that himself was the person intended.”
– Josephus, Antiquity of the Jews
A rare 1796 printing of the ‘Jewish Histories’ of Josephus. This work is one of the most referenced works regarding the history and origins of the Jewish faith, providing history beyond what is found in the Bible. Many editions of the works of Josephus appeared in the 18th-century, but this English edition by William Whiston is particularly desirable. He added notes and commentary to this translation that appeared throughout 18th– and 19th-century editions.
