Sobre la recepción de Josefo en la General Estoria de Alfonso X (Primera parte)

Abstract

The editors of the First Part of the General Estoria used Josephus’ Latin version of the AI (Antiquitates Iudaicae) with great frequency. Our study focuses on some items: data offered by Josephus, and not by the Bible, but collected in the GE; points that the GE attributes to Josephus but that appear in another way or simply do not appear; facts related by Josephus briefly but extensively considered in the Alfonsi writing; and, finally, some important errors contained in the GE, when the events are described differently in the Jewish historian
