书籍简介

约瑟夫，士兵，政治家，历史学家，是大约公元37年出生在耶路撒冷的犹太人。他出身高贵，很早就开始学习犹太律法和希腊文学，是法利赛人。在罗马为一些犹太祭司的事业辩护之后，他回到耶路撒冷，并在66年试图阻止反抗罗马，为犹太人管理加利利的事务。在随后的麻烦中，他与维斯帕先讲和。在提图斯围攻耶路撒冷时，他受到了两位皇帝和多米提安的宠爱，并改姓弗拉维乌斯。他在97岁之后去世。

作为历史资料，约瑟夫斯是无价的。他的主要著作有:《犹太战争史》共七卷，从公元前170年到他所处的时代，最初是用亚拉姆语写成的但他自己翻译成了我们现在看到的希腊文;以及从创世到公元66年的20卷犹太文物。勒布经典图书馆版的作品约瑟夫斯也包括自传的生活和他的论文反对Apion。

Josephus, soldier, statesman, historian, was a Jew born at Jerusalem about 37 CE. A man of high descent, he early became learned in Jewish law and Greek literature and was a Pharisee. After pleading in Rome the cause of some Jewish priests he returned to Jerusalem and in 66 tried to prevent revolt against Rome, managing for the Jews the affairs of Galilee. In the troubles which followed he made his peace with Vespasian. Present at the siege of Jerusalem by Titus, he received favours from these two as emperors and from Domitian and assumed their family name Flavius. He died after 97.

As a historical source Josephus is invaluable. His major works are: History of the Jewish War, in seven books, from 170 BCE to his own time, first written in Aramaic but translated by himself into the Greek we now have; and Jewish Antiquities, in twenty books, from the creation of the world to 66 CE. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the works of Josephus also includes the autobiographical Life and his treatise Against Apion.

作者简介

提图斯·弗拉维乌斯·约瑟夫(公元37年-约100年)，原名约瑟夫·本·马蒂亚胡。他是公元一世纪罗马犹太学者、历史学家和军事领袖。他出生在耶路撒冷——当时是罗马犹太的一部分——父亲是牧师，母亲是皇室血统。

在第一次犹太罗马战争中，他最初作为加利利犹太军队的首领与罗马人作战，直到公元67年，在乔塔帕塔被围困六周后，他向维斯帕先领导的罗马军队投降。约瑟夫声称某些犹太弥赛亚预言提到维斯帕先成为罗马皇帝。于是维斯帕先决定留下约瑟作奴仆和传话的人。韦斯帕先在69年成为皇帝后，他给了约瑟夫自由，那时约瑟夫继承了皇帝的姓氏——弗拉维乌斯。

弗拉维乌斯·约瑟夫完全叛逃到罗马一边，并被授予罗马公民身份。他成为了维斯帕先的儿子提图斯的顾问和朋友，当提图斯领导围攻耶路撒冷，导致城市被毁，希律圣殿被洗劫和毁坏时，他担任翻译。

Titus Flavius Josephus  (37 – c. 100 AD), was born Joseph ben Matityahu. He was a first century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and military leader. He was born in Jerusalem―then part of Roman Judea―to a father of a priestly family and a mother who claimed royal blood.

He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 AD to Roman forces led by Vespasian following the bitter six-week siege of Jotapata. Josephus claimed certain Jewish Messianic prophecies made reference to Vespasian becoming Emperor of Rome. So Vespasian decided to keep Josephus as a slave and interpreter. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor’s family name of Flavius.

Flavius Josephus fully defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. He became an advisor and friend of Vespasian’s son Titus, serving as his translator when Titus led the siege of Jerusalem, which resulted in the city’s destruction and the looting and destruction of Herod’s temple.
