| Title: The Autobiography of Josephus and the Hypothesis of a Second Edition of his Antiquities Secondary Title: HThR Volume: 71 Pages: 61-75 Type: Journal Article Year: 1978 Abstract: "The Autobiography evidently forms an appendix to the Jewish Antiquities and was published before Domitian's death, so it can be dated between 93-94 and September 96. No evidence exists to support the hypothesis of a second edition of the Antiquities. The assumption of two conclusions is invalid, as there is no internal break between Ant. XX,266-267. // When Josephus composed the conclusion of Antiquities, he proposed to write his autobiography, in which an incomplete account of the Jewish War and later events would be given (see Ant. 20:266.267). Both the assumption of two conclusions in Ant. 20 and the validity of Photos' information about Agrippa II's death must be rejected. Thus no evidence exists to support the hypothesis of a second edition of Antiquities. Since I life was written as an appendix to Antiquities and published before Domitian's death, it can be accurately placed between A.D. 93-94 and September of 96. - D.J.H."
