HEGESIPPUS , the supposed author of a free Latin adaptation of the Jewish War of Josephus under the title De bello
work
preface as a kind of revised edition of Josephus. Some authorities attribute it to Ambrose
bishop
Milan (34o-397), but there is nothing to settle the authorship definitely. The name Hegesippus itself appears to be a corruption of Josephus, through the stages 'Idssipros, Iosippus, Egesippus, Hegesippus, unless it was purposely adopted as reminiscent of Hegesippus, the father of ecclesiastical history (2nd century).Best edition by C. F. Weber and J. Caesar (1864) ; authorities in E. Scharer, History of the Jewish People (Eng. trans.), i. 99 seq.; F. Vogel , De Hegesippo, qui dicitur, Josephi interprete (Erlangen, 1881).End of Article: HEGESIPPUS If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
