The encounter between interpretation and history in the   writings of Josephus provides the conceptual framework for this collection   of essays. The contributions in this volume, which were presented at an   international colloquium entitled "Josephus: Interpretation and History"   held in Dublin in 2004, are united, not by a single view of Josephus, but   by the question of historical method, both ancient and modern. These essays   take up aspects of a problem basic to all researchers who would use   Josephus for historical purposes, namely: What is the relationship between   narratives and history? Organized thematically, the volume reflects a   critical engagement with the texts of Josephus, other literary texts, case   studies of particular events, and material remains.
