Autorenporträt
Flavius Josephus (37-100 n. Chr.) war einer der bedeutendsten Historiker der antiken Welt. Als junger Priester aus der Jerusalemer Oberschicht hatte Josephus eine aktive Rolle im Jüdischen Krieg. Nach dem Fall von Judäa erhielt er das römische Bürgerrecht und lebte fortan von einer kaiserlichen Pension und dem Ertrag seiner Landgüter in Judäa. Die Muße nutzte er zur Abfassung mehrerer Werke in griechischer Sprache: eine Geschichte des Jüdischen Krieges, eine Geschichte des jüdischen Volkes von der Erschaffung der Welt bis zum Vorabend dieses Krieges, eine Autobiografie, und als Spätwerk eine Verteidigung des Judentums gegen die Kritik zeitgenössischer Autoren.
