The Whole Works of Flavius Josephus, translated by Charles Clarke and edited by Reverend Mr. Yorke, London, 1785. English.
The volume contains all the writings of Josephus Flavius: Antiquities of the Jews, Flavius Josephus Against Apion, War of the Jews, 4 Maccabees, Delegation to Gaius, The Life of Flavius Josephus.
Although this is a volume compiling all of the works by Yosef ben Matityahu, The "Delegation to Gaius" by Philo and the book "4 Maccabees" which was, for years, attributed to Yosef Ben Matityahu but apparently was not composed by him.
A fine volume in a large format with numerous engravings and maps colored by hand. A frontispiece depicts an imaginary portrait of Yosef Ben Matityahu. On verso of one of the engravings appears a mounted early panoramic photograph of Jerusalem viewed from Mount Scopus. (unidentified photographer). The book was published in sixty parts which were sent to subscribers. At the end of the book appears the list of subscribers.
