The Book of Josephus. Thessaloniki 1890 - First Edition in Ladino


Sefer Ben Gurion (Yosifun) - First edition in the Ladino language that was published in Thessaloniki in 1890, by the 'Hevrat Etz Hayim', Yitzhak Sa'adi Printing Press. Complete book includes the Rava'd introduction, and the rare list of donors at the end of the book.


Yosef ben Matityahu's book was copied in 953 AD by an anonymous author who calls him "Yosef ben Gurion" (in the history of the Jews of the Great Revolt at the end of the Second Temple period there was indeed a leader named Yosef ben Gurion). The essay reviews the history of Israel people during the Second Temple period up to the Great Revolt, and is in fact a copy of the book of Josephus Flavius himself.

251 [1] leaves. Original half-leather cover with gilt inscription on spine. Slight tears in cover. Stains. Good condition.
