Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genuine Works of Flavius Josephus, 1815, Vol. 1: The Learned and Authentic Jewish Historian, and Celebrated Warrior; To Which Are Prefixed, Three Dissertations But before I produce the citations themselves out of J ose phus, give me leave to prepare the reader's attention, by set ting down the sentiments of perhaps the most learned per son, and the most competent judge that ever was, as to the authority of Josephus, I mean of Joseph Scaliger in the Pro legomena to his book Dc Emendations Tempomm, p. 17. Josephus is the most diligent and the greatest lover of truth of all writers. Nor are we afraid to aflilm of him, that it is more safe to believe him, not only as to the affairs of the Jews, but also as to those that are foreign to them, than all the Greek and Latin writers, and this, because his fidelity and his compass of learning are every where conspicuous.
