The Sefer Yosifon is a chronicle of Jewish history from Adam to the age of Titus believed to have been written by Yosifon or Joseph ben Gorion. Yosifon was compiled in Hebrew early in the 10th century by a Jewish native of south Italy. The first edition was printed in Mantua in 1476. The book subsequently appeared in many forms one of the most popular being in Yiddish with quaint illustrations. Though the chronicle is more legendary than historical it is not unlikely that ancient sources were used by the first compiler. The book enjoyed great popularity in England. In 1558 Peter Morvyn translated an abbreviated version into English and edition after edition was called for. Lucien Wolf has shown that the English translations of the Bible aroused so much interest in the Jews that there was a widespread desire to know more about them. This led to the circulation of many editions of Josippon which thus formed a link in the chain of events which culminated in the readmission of the Jews to England by Oliver Cromwell. The Ethiopic version of Yosifon is recognized as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The work is ascribed to Joseph ben Gorion a Jew living in southern Italy in either the 9th or the 10th century. As the Muslim writer ibn Hazm d. 1063 was acquainted with the Arabic translation by a Yemenite Jew Daniel Chwolson proposes that the author lived at the beginning of the 9th century. The Yosifon was widely read by Jews in the Middle ages and frequently quoted by biblical and talmudic commentators. An historical account of the period of the Second Temple written in Hebrew it can be dated on internal evidence to the middle of the tenth century and one manuscript even carries a precise date to 953 CE. The anonymous author lived in sourthern Italy then part of the Greek-speaking Byzantine empire. But because he used as his main source a Latin manuscript which included sixteen of the twenty books of the Jewish Antiquities of Flavius Josephus and the Gegsippus a Latin adaptation of the Jewish War he probably could not read Josephus' original Greek. By the next century the book was attributed to Josephus himself and called Sefer Yosifon Yosifon si the Judaeo-Grek form for Josephus. Most printed editions relay on a text first printed in Constantinople in 1510 and republished in Venice in 1544 although the shorter text published in Mantua in 1480 has apparently suffered less interpolation and is thus closer to the original. This Judeo-German or Yiddish translation the first in that language is one of many translations into other languages. A Yemenite Jew translated the Yosifon into Arabic by the eleventh century. The failure of the Yosifon to mention the beginnings of Christianity also spawned intense interest in the boo by later Christian humanists and its subsequent translation into European languages. This is the first edition of this book to be printed in India and is among the earliest books printed in Calcutta. There is a printers mark from the firm of Hacohen but it is a version not listed in Yaari.

197840624AB1978. New York Grove Press Inc. 1978. 24cm x 16cm. 186 pages. Original Hardcover with original illustrated dustjacket. In protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Presentation copy. With manuscript letter by Ben Belitt reflecting on mistakes in the book and comparing it to Borges' "Pierre Menard". Page six inscribed by Ben Belitt to Ben and Ann Malamud. Between an original text and its translation there is a gap - a "middle kingdom" of unkowns and equivalences - which the translator traverses alone. Ben Belitt a poet and scholar widely acclaimed for his translation of poetry from the Spanish of Alberti Machado Garcia Lorca Borges Jorge Guillen and Pablo Neruda has mapped out some of the terrain which divides and unifies the languages of the world and compels the translator's search for his function. In the sense that it is the attempt of a distinguished translator to 'come to cases' with the theory and practice of his craft in the on-going drift of choice and decisions this is a log-book as well as a casebook on translation. Its posture as Mr. Belitt frankly concedes is quizzical and empirical rather than polemical. It combines essays prefaces dialog and reviews with position papers 'reflecting the controversy into which all translators are drawn in their pursuit of an equivocal undertaking'. In two long sections on Pablo Neruda Belitt offers a sequence of 'revaluations' of the Chilean master in which the language and the substance of a 'Homeric sensibility' are measured against the literature of the world as a 'single community of tradition'. They help to fix the true subject of this volume as the relationship between translation and imagination or 'Adam's dream' of reality. Ben Belitt teaches at Bennington College and has received numerous awards for his poetry and translation including a Guggenheim Fellowships National Institute of Arts and Letters Award and the Princeton Press Award. He is the author of four volumes of poetry and other translations. hardcover

Benjamin - Bennington June 6 1986" Ben Belitt born New York May 2 1911 - Bennington Vermont August 17 2003 was an American poet and translator.

He was educated at the University of Virginia receiving a B.A. in 1932 and an M.A. in 1934 and he was a doctoral student at that university from 1934 to 1936. By the early 1940s he had taken up an appointment at Bennington College in Bennington Vermont where he remained for the rest of his life.

Belitt was the author of eight books of poems; his complete poems This Scribe My Hand was published in 1998 by Louisiana State University Press.

After retiring from Bennington College he continued to live in North Bennington and held the position of Professor Emeritus of Language and Literature at the college.
