The Works of Flavius Josephus – Venice, 1702 – Over One Hundred and Fifty Woodcuts
Gioseffo Flavio historico, Delle antichità, e Guerre Giudaiche [Josephus Flavius, Antiquities and The Wars of the Jews]. Venice: Angelo Bosio, 1702. Italian.
Two of Flavius Josephus' works – "Antiquities" and "The War of the Jews". "Antiquities", which appears at the beginning of the volume, delineates the history of the Israelites since the creation of the world until the onset of the Great Revolt in 66 A.D. (two parts; each part contains ten chapters and a separate title page) and is accompanied by more than 150 woodcuts (including 23 full-page portraits of Jewish prophets). "The Wars of the Jews", which appears at the end of the volume (with a separate title page), describes the wars of the Jews against the Romans in Palestine.
All three title pages feature a small woodcut depicting Noah's Ark.
