EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Frontispiece of Histoire de la Guerre des Juifs contre les Romains" transports us back to the 17th century in Paris. The print, part of Flavius Josephus' monumental work on Jewish history, is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and translation. Published in 1688, this French edition of Antiquitates Judaicae showcases the remarkable talent of Arnauld d'Andilly as he masterfully translates Josephus' original Greek text into the rich language of French classicism. D'Andilly, a prominent poet and writer during this period, brings to life the epic tale of the Jewish people's struggle against Roman rule. The frontispiece itself is an exquisite example of artistic craftsmanship from the era. Its intricate details draw our attention: from delicate engravings depicting scenes from ancient Jewish history to ornate borders adorned with symbols representing both Judaism and France. As we gaze upon this historical treasure housed within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we are reminded not only of its cultural significance but also its timeless relevance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, stories continue to be told through art and literature – bridging gaps between languages, cultures, and generations. This print captures a moment frozen in time – an homage to Flavius Josephus' profound account as well as Arnauld d'Andilly's contribution towards preserving it for future generations.
