Pseudo-Hegesippus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pseudo-Hegesippus serves as the author's name for a ( pseudepigraphic ) script that was incorrectly attributed to Hegesippus and originated around 370 AD . Originally the font was known under the title “De excidio Hierosolymitano” (“On the destruction of Jerusalem”). This is a literal Latin translation of the ancient Greek written history of the Jewish war (Greek Ἱστορία Ἰουδαϊκοῦ πολέμου πρὸς Ῥωμαίους , Latin Bellum Judaicum or De Bello Judaico ) of Flavius ​​Josephus . The work also contains passages from other writings, including from the Jewish antiquities of Flavius ​​Josephus and Marcus Tullius Cicero . It contains a revised version of the Testimonium Flavianum . But it was handed down under the name of Hegesippus. The actual author of the work is unknown. The work was first printed in Paris in 1510.
