Martin Hammond retired as the Headmaster of Tonbridge School in
2005. He has previously translated Arrian's Alexander the Great
(2013) and Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War (2009) for Oxford
World's Classics, as well as Homer's Iliad (Penguin, 1987) and
Odyssey (Bloomsbury, 2014). His translation of Procopius' The
Secret History for Oxford World's Classics is forthcoming. Martin
Goodman is President of the Oxford Centre
for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and Reader in Jewish Studies at the
University of Oxford. He has edited a number of books including
Rabbinic Texts and the History of Late-Roman Palestine (BA/OUP,
2011), The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Studies (OUP,
2002), and Representations of Empire: Rome and the Mediterranean
World (BA/OUP, 2002). His authored books include Rome and
Jerusalem: the clash of ancient civilizations (Allen Lane, 2007)
and Judaism in the Roman World: Collected Studies (Brill, 2007)
This paperback is now the best choice for anyone who wishes to read
through the most impactful text of western antiquity, outside the
Bible, in English... This accessible Josephus will both satisfy and
stimulate the considerable interest in this author.
*Steve Mason, Expository Times*
Hammond's fluent, colloquial translation does considerable justice
to Josephus' fastpaced, scandal-filled narrative... This new
translation brings the modern reader closer to Josephus and equips
us to understand him.
*The Tablet*
The great strength of this excellent addition to the Oxford World's
Classics series lies in the way that a flowing translation is
supported by an introduction, copious notes, maps and a first class
expanded index, which enable the readers to find their way through
a maze of similar sounding individual, family and place names.
*Classics for All*
