OPERA OMNIA
Egesippi historiographi inter scriptores ecclesiasticos vetustissimi, de rebus a Iudaeorum principibus in obsidione fortiter gestis, deque excidio Hierosolymorum, aliarumque civitatum adicentium, libri V..
By Hegesippus, (Flavius Josephus)

Author Bio: Hegesippus (c. 108 – c.180 AD), also known as Hegesippus the Nazarene, was a Christian writer of the early Church who, in spite of his Greek name, may have been a Jewish convert and certainly wrote against heresies of the Gnostics and of Marcion.

Synopsis: First printed edition in Cologne of the "Egisippus", the anonymous Latin translation from the 4th century of Flavius Josephus' De Bello Judaico. This work represents a fundamental historical testimony of the fall of Jerusalem and the cultural context of late antiquity Rome, characterized by the dialogue between pagan, Christian, and Jewish traditions. For centuries, the text has been a subject of debate among scholars regarding the identity of the translator, with some hypotheses attributing authorship to Saint Ambrose. Hegesippus' work on the ecclesiatical events from the beginning of the bible up til around 150 AD. His works are main sources next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine. Hegesippus's, or pseudo-Hegesippus, real identity is unknown. Over time, numerous hypotheses have been advanced on the identity of the author, the latest theories seem to agree on an attribution to the young Sant' Ambrogio Bibliothecae Rheno-Trajectinae
