AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Flavius Josephus, All the Works, Containing Twenty Books of the Jewish Antiquities, the Story of his own Life, the History of the Wars of the Jews against the Romans, His Two Books against Apion, and a description of the martyrdom of the Maccabees. Wherein comes the Embassy of Philo to Emperor Caligula. Amsterdam, by Pieter Mortier, Bookseller.
book in folio format.
The book contains a separate engraved title page with, in the text, dozens of engravings depicting Biblical scenes.
The title page etched by Jan Luyken shows a woman symbolizing the Jewish state. She is attacked by Roman soldiers. In the background the Temple of Jerusalem is burning.
The pages are generally bright white and clean.
The binding is sturdy. Some pages have small tears repaired. The book is bound in pasteboard boards covered with leather and has a linen spine.
This book probably belongs to the first copies printed. The engraving on pages 557 and 587 is the same. According to Poortman this indicates one of the first copies. See “Bible and Print” part IIb, 1986 by Wilco Poortman, page 239
