EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Book XIX of the Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus. The artwork, found on Ms. 1581 f. 371v, depicts a significant moment in history: the assassination of Gaius Caligula by Cherea due to his cruelty. Created in the 16th century by an unknown French School artist, this vellum masterpiece is currently housed at Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France. Commissioned by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, Archbishop of Rouen for his chateau's library at Gaillon, this particular edition of Flavius Josephus was brought to life with stunning miniatures crafted by Jean Pichore and intricately designed borders by Jean Serpin. Antiquitates Judaicae is a monumental work chronicling the history of Jewish people across 21 volumes written in Greek by Flavius Josephus during the first century AD. This specific book features Rufinus' fourth-century Latin translation. The photograph captures not only the artistic brilliance but also offers a glimpse into historical events that shaped ancient Rome and its relationship with Judaism. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and intellectual pursuit throughout centuries.
