"this is a work of great quality which [...] provides us with an
excellent instrument for research, and excellent reference for
studies on Josephus." – Francesca Calabi, University of Pavia, in:
Journal for the Study of Judaism, 2009
"Es handelt sich um den bisher umfassendsten und zweifelsohne
besten Kommentar zu diesem Traktat, der in den letzten Jahren
vermehrt in den Blickpunkt der Forschung genommen wurde ... John
Barclays Kommentar zu Josephus' Apion ist ein Meilenstein in der
Josephus-Forschung, an dem man sich gerne orientiert und der eine
enorme Bereicherung für die Erforschung des Judentums der
griechisch-römischen Zeit insgesamt ist." – René Bloch, Universität
Bern, Bern, Switzerland
"It is a first rate work of scholarship.I suspect that the
commentary will be used principally as a reference work. It can be
so used with profit. Each section is full enough to stand on its
own. It will also reward those who spend the time to work through
the whole.[...] I do not anticipate another English commentary to
Contra Apionem for many years. Thankfully, we will not need one.
Barclay's commentary will serve us well for many years." – Gregory
Sterling, in: The Studia Philonica Annual 20 (2008)
