Texts, translations, and new tools for studying Josephus and his reception in the Latin Middle Ages
The Latin Josephus Project is pleased to announce the release of version 3.0 of its digital research platform, available freely at latinjosephus.org.
For more than a thousand years, the writings of the first-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus were among the historical works most widely read in the Latin West. Medieval readers encountered his accounts of Jewish history and the destruction of Jerusalem in late-antique Latin translations and adaptations. They copied these works, annotated them, cited them, and sometimes understood their authorship in ways quite different from our own.
The Latin Josephus Project makes these texts accessible to modern readers and provides tools for exploring their transmission, interpretation, and relationship to the Greek originals.
Version 3.0 represents a major expansion and rebuilding of the project, which began in 2013. It brings together four major works, multiple textual traditions, historical and modern translations, and a new cross-corpus search interface.
