The Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus

THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS is a comprehensive 20-volume history of the Jewish people, written by Romano-Jewish scholar Josephus around 94 A.D. In the first ten volumes, Josephus follows the events of the historical books of the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament) beginning with the story of Genesis. Volumes 11-20 continue the history beyond the biblical text through the age of Alexander and up to the Jewish War of 70 A.D., of which Josephus was an eyewitness.
