This edition of Flavius Josephus's works, titled "Opera Omnia," encompasses Books V-VII of *Bellum Judaicum* (The Jewish War), the complete *Contra Apionem* (Against Apion) in two books, and *De Maccabaeis* (The Maccabees). Presented in the original Greek, this volume offers a direct and unmediated encounter with Josephus's historical and apologetic writings.
Bellum Judaicum provides a detailed account of the First Jewish-Roman War, a pivotal event in Jewish history, while *Contra Apionem* serves as a defense of Judaism against Hellenistic slanders. *De Maccabaeis* recounts the story of the Maccabean revolt, a foundational narrative of Jewish resistance. This collection, edited by Carl Ernst Richter, is an invaluable resource for scholars and students interested in classical history, Jewish studies, and the intellectual landscape of the ancient world. Its enduring relevance lies in its firsthand perspective on events that shaped Western civilization.
