Antiquities Of The Jews




''Antiquities of the Jews'' was a work published by the Jewish historian Josephus , also known as Flavius Josephus, about 93-4 CE (cf. ''AJ'' XX.267, the overlap mentioned therein occurred from 1.9.93 to 14.3.94).

The extant copies of this work, which all derive from Christian sources, even the recently-recovered Arabic version, contain two passages about Jesus . The long one has come to be known as the Testimonium Flavianum . If genuine, it is the earliest record of Jesus in Jewish sources, and as such is sometimes cited as independent evidence for the Historical Existence Of Jesus .

One of the best known translations of this work was provided by William Whiston in 1737.
However, the Loeb classical Library has a more recent translation which is also very good.
