Flavius Josephus, the 1st-century Jewish historian, is unquestionably among the most important writers from classical antiquity. The significance of the works of Josephus as sources for our understanding of biblical history and of the political history of Palestine under Roman rule, can scarcely be overestimated.
This widely acclaimed concordance to the works of Josephus has been prepared by an international team of leading scholars in the field of Hellenistic Judaism under the general editorship of K.H. Rengstorf. It was published in four volumes between 1973 and 1983.
This concordance has since gained a prominent place as an indispensable reference tool for anyone involved in the study of biblical literature and of Judaism in antiquity.

'With the publication of K.H. Rengstorf's A Complete Concordance to Flavius Josephus scholars are now able to study the language of Josephus against the backdrop of that of his predecessors and comtemporaries. The concordance lists every occurence of every word in the works of Josephus, has a very high degree of accuracy, is very generous in quoting lemmas, lists noteworthly textual variants, and often cites the Latin translation of Josephus.'
