“JOSIPPON” IN ENGLAND. 

By LUCIEN WOLF.

However much the Sepher Josippon may have been derided by the
critics of a former generation as a clumsy and unhistorical forgery,
it has played a considerable part in the external history of the Jewish
people, only second in importance, indeed, to the Bible itself. It was
the first post-biblical history of the Jews that was read by the common
people of Europe. Its inconsiderable bulk, and especially its popular
style and strong legendary flavour, gave it a decided advantage over
the genuine Josephus, which, in all its early translations, was produced
in cumbrous folios and was unknown beyond a narrow circle of scholars
and clerics. Josippon was essentially a Volksbuch. If we consider
how important a factor in the dissipation of anti-Jewish prejudice
was the popular apprehension of the identity of the Jews with
the’people of the Bible, we shall see what was the particular service
rendered by the Sepher Josippon. It supplied the first connecting link
in the Gentile mind between the Bible and the Ghetto. It sowed
the seeds of that benevolent Christian interest which eventually enabled
orthodoxy to join hands with rationalistic political Liberalism in the
emancipation of the Jews. What the pre-Reformation bourgeois thought
of the Jews we know pretty well; but what he knew of their historic
origin we can only dimly gather from the homiletic literature of his day.
He knew that they were heretics, a “monument of divine wrath,” and
especially “the slayers of the Son of God”; but that they were the
spiritual fathers of Christianity, and belonged to the same seed of
David as the Christ himself, he was profoundly ignorant. It was the
translation of the Sepher Josippon which first opened his eyes to this
fact—a fact of decisive importance in settling the social and political
destinies of the Jewish people.

The circumstances under which Josippon was first translated
into English are particularly interesting at this moment, when the
Tercentenary of the Authorised Version is being celebrated. We hear
a great deal about the influence of the Authorised Version in popu-
larising the Bible, but very little about the hold the Great Book had
already obtained upon the popular imagination through Caxton’s
Golden Legend and the translations of Coverdale and Cranmer.
As a matter of fact it was already a popular book, and the best proof
of it is supplied by Josippon, Which was translated in deference to the
demand for a sequel to the Bible at a time when the Bible was a new
book which, as we should say to-day, “had taken the town by storm.”
I once heard a little anecdote which illustrates admirably the frame of
the popular mind which rendered the Englishing of Josippon necessary.
In the early days of South African colonisation the late Baron
Mosenthal once paid a visit to an up-country Boer farmer, whom he
found intently poring over a huge family Bible. Looking up at his
travelled visitor, the Boer asked him earnestly, “Do you think there
are any of that blessed people, the Jews, still living?” “Of course
there are,” answered Mosenthal, “I have seen them myself.” “Then,”
rejoined the simple Dutchman, “I will give you fifty pounds if you
will procure me a sight of one of them.” Something of the same spirit
prevailed in England when the Old Testament was first made known
to the reading public, through Coverdale’s and Cranmer’s translations.
An impetus had perhaps been given to this interest by the long dis-
cussions of Jewish customs involved in Henry VIII.’s divorce from
Catherine of Aragon. The first attempt to cater for it was made in a
little ethnographical work, called The Fardle of Facions, published in
1555. It was a translation by William Watreman of John Bœmus’s
Omnium Gentium Mores, and, in addition to a short chapter “Of Jurie
and of the lyfe, manors, and lawes of the Jewes,” it contained, in an
appendix, a bald summary of “the ordres and lawes of the Jewes
communewealth,” extracted from Josephus. This was manifestly
inadequate to meet the public demand; and an enterprising London
publisher, Richare Jugge, printer to the Queen, looked about for a
scholar who would supply him with a more extensive book on the
subject.

He found the man he wanted in Peter Morvyn, a zealous reformer,

whose learning had earned for him a perpetual fellowship of Magdalen
College, Oxford, and who was afterwards appointed a Canon of Lich-
field, when Bentham was promoted to the bishopric. Morvyn had
lived in Germany, where he had, doubtless, become acquainted with
Sebastian Münster’s Historiarum Josephi, a curtailed Latin translation
of Josippon. As this work only commenced with the Gesta Macha-
beorum it was well suited to supply the book of which Jugge was in
need, and accordingly Morvyn set himself to turn it into. English.
Early in 1558, the translation, in the shape of a fat little black-letter
duodecimo, was placed on sale in Jugge’s shop in St. Paul’s Church-
yard. The book was a literal version of Münster, although its author
pretended to derive it direct from the Hebrew. To the bibliographer,
however, the most interesting feature in it is an “Epistle to the
reader,” in which its raison d’être is fully set forth. We are told that
the object is to supply a “history of ye Jewes, to the intent that as
there is emongst us already in our native tong, the originall beginninge
of that nacion, and the continuance also for a long space, in the Bible,
and annexed to the same: so there might be likewise an understand-
ing and declaration to al men in the English tong, as well as in other,
of the destruction of so famous a communeweal.” The demand for the
book is indicated by the inquiry, “Who woulde not be very muche
delited and desierous to understand the ende, and what became at
lengthe uppon suche a people, that he hathe hearde so muche of, as
everye man hathe reade and hearde of the Jewes in the Bible and other-
wyse.” Like all the scholars of his day, and for many a long day after
him, Morvyn firmly believed that Josippon was the work of Josephus,
“although he name him self in thys, Ben Gorion, that is the sonne of
Gorion, and in the other, the Sonne of Mattathias: whiche is a thynge
so commune in the Jewes genealogies, yt men nede not sicke far
for the like.” No biographical information is, however, vouchsafed
concerning Ben Gorion beyond a reference to him on the title-page
as “a nobleman of the same countrey [Judea] who sawe the most
thynges [he relates] himself, and was auctour and doer of a great part
of the same.”

The book was apparently very successful. Jugge issued a second
edition in 1561, a third in 1567, and a fourth in 1575. His successors,
John Wallie and Thomas Adames, published further editions in 1579.

1593, 1596, 1602, 1608, and 1615, making ten editions in a little more
than fifty years, a considerable circulation for a comparatively un-
lettered age. After 1615, however, all interest in it seems to have died
away, and we hear of no reissue until thirty-seven years later. It is
possible that the sudden subsidence of Judeophil feeling which this
indicates was brought about by the alleged treason of Queen Elizabeth’s
Jewish physician, Rodrigo Lopez. For some years the public were in
no mood to dwell sympathetically on the “latter times, of the Jewes
communeweall.” They preferred to devour sensational tracts relating
to the “perjured and murdering traitor and Jewish doctor,” or to pass
their evenings hooting at Barabbas in the then popular performances
of Marlowe’s “Jew of Malta.”

The book was revived in the full tide of the Puritan agitation for
the readmission of the Jews into England. The year 1652 was very
prolific in works on the Jewish question; but, strange to say, the
object of the republication of the English Josippon was not to con-
tribute in any way to the solution of that problem. It was practically
a Royalist tract, issued by James Stafford, the publisher of Fuller’s
sermons and other works, and edited by James Howel, the most
versatile author of his day, and formerly Clerk to the Council at White-
hall. Howel, who had passed many years on the Continent, and whose
notebooks were full of quaint memoranda about the Jews, prefixed
to it an “epistle dedicatory,” consisting of an interesting ethnographical
and historical sketch of the Israceitish people which practically com-
pleted the book as a post-Biblical history. Still it was only intended
to serve a political and temporary end. Its object was to take advantage
of the prevailing interest in the Jews to impress upon the citizens of the
metropolis that, just as Jerusalem was ruined by sedition, so London
would have to pay a similar penalty for her adhesion to the Puritan
cause. This was fully explained in a subsequent edition, after the
fall of the Commonwealth. The book was, however, much better
than its professions. It sold well, and new editions were repeatedly
called for. Stafford, as an astute publisher, nursed his little property
and added attractions to it. He illustrated it and got Thomas Fuller
to write additional chapters to it. The famous Royal Chaplain had
already given some attention to the Jews, and in his Church History of
Britain
had included a fairly accurate sketch of pre-Expulsion history.

To Stafford’s Josippon he contributed a chatty account of Jewish
manners and customs and an eloquent prayer for mercy to the Jews
apart from their conversion. This prayer deserves to be better known.
It is a striking testimony to the influence exerted by the English trans-
lation of the Sepher Josippon when, in its final redaction, we find the
concluding pages occupied by a prayer in which the foremost preacher
of his day—not a Puritan, but a Royalist and an Episcopalian—asks:
“How long, O Lord, holy and true? How long, O Lord? Wilt
Thou be angry for ever? Thine anger is said to endure but a moment;
but Lord, how many, many millions of millions of moments are con-
tained in sixteen hundred years since Thou hast first cast off Thy first and
chosen people, the Jews? “In this composite form—translated originally
by Morvyn from Münster, edited and annotated by Howel, with a
preface by Stafford and additions by Fuller—the English Josippon
regained all its old popularity. It retained its hold on the reading
public until Taylor’s translation of Basnage inaugurated a more sys-
tematic study of Jewish history.

A LIST OF ENGLISH EDITIONS OF JOSIPPON.

1558. 

The first edition of the English translation of Josippon (1558) is only
known to us by a reference to it in Anthony à Wood’s Athence Oxonienses
(vol. i. sub voce Morwyn). This is confirmed by the following entry in the
Stationer’s Registers:—

“19 July 1557—9 July 1558.
