接收约瑟夫需要没有理由的主题，这一特殊问题的国际期刊的古典传统。几乎在现代早期文化景观的每一个角落，犹太历史学家弗拉维奥·约瑟夫斯都出现了：在神学话语和论战中，在年表和历史编纂中，在圣经批评中，甚至在戏剧中。约瑟夫斯的吸引力是什么？他是在什么时候、怎样被人读到的？为什么他是古代历史学家中最受欢迎的？这是因为，还是尽管，他的作品在神圣的历史中的作用，以及在古典传统，以及如何早期现代作家和读者回应他作为一个犹太人的地位？这些是以下文章中讨论的一些问题，这些文章来自2014年在牛津举行的研讨会，由牛津希伯来和犹太研究中心主持。约瑟夫斯是一位来自犹太的犹太牧师，他参加了犹太人反抗罗马的起义，最终在公元70年被提图斯皇帝摧毁了耶路撒冷圣殿。在他现存的文学作品中，所有这些作品都只以希腊语和希腊语翻译的形式存在，第一部是关于起义及其后果的七本书，其中至少前六本书是在战争结束后十年内完成的，可能是在罗马，主要是为罗马读者撰写的。犹太战争（Bellum Judaicum）之后，十多年后，由纪念碑犹太文物（Antiquitates Judaicae），其中前半部分追溯犹太历史从最早的时候，释义圣经文本，和后半部分带来了叙述约瑟夫自己的一天。《旧约全书》的二十卷书中有一本自传（《维塔》），主要讲述了约瑟夫斯在与罗马的战争中作为加利利叛军指挥官的角色。他
The reception of Josephus needs no justification as the topic of this special issue of the International Journal of the Classical Tradition. In almost every nook and cranny of the early modern cultural landscape, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus makes an appearance: in theological discourses and polemics, in chronology and historiography, in biblical criticism and even in drama. What was the appeal of Josephus, and when and how was he read? Why was he the most popular of the ancient historians? Was it because of, or despite, the role of his writings within sacred history, as well as within the classical tradition, and how did early modern authors and readers respond to his status as a Jew? These are some of the questions discussed in the following essays, which are drawn from a seminar held in Oxford in 2014 under the auspices of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. Josephus was a Jewish priest from Judaea who participated in the Jewish revolt against Rome which culminated in the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by the emperor Titus in 70 CE. Of his extant literary works, all of which survive only in Greek and translations from the Greek, the first was an account in seven books of the revolt and its aftermath, of which at least the first six books were composed, probably in Rome and primarily for Roman readers, within a decade of the end of the war. The Jewish War (Bellum Judaicum) was followed, a little over ten years later, by the monumental Jewish Antiquities (Antiquitates Judaicae), of which the first half traced Jewish history from earliest times, paraphrasing the biblical texts, and the second half brought the narrative up to Josephus’s own day. Appended to the twenty books of the Antiquitates was an autobiography (Vita), which focused on Josephus’s role as a rebel commander in Galilee during the war against Rome. His
