LJS 237 is a Latin translation and adaptation of De bello Judaico with information added from other historians, mostly Latin, traditionally attributed to Egesippus. It was adapted in Italy in ca. 1460. De bello Judaico is an account of the Jewish War and traditionally contains, in addition to an account of the fall of Jerusalem, information on Egesippus own part in the conflict. The opening of this manuscript, folio 2r, has a lovely illusionistic border.

Contemporary scholarly marginalia and glosses attempt to resolve inconsistencies between this text and the more literal Latin translation of Rufinus. They can be seen on fols. 4v and 5r here.
