Antiquitates Judaicae
Flavius Josephus · c. 37 – c. 100
Twenty books retelling the whole of Jewish history from creation to the eve of the revolt, for Greek and Roman readers. Along the way it mentions John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, and — in a passage every scholar since the Renaissance has argued over — Jesus himself.

c. 953
Hebrew
Anonymous, in southern Italy
Jewish history from Adam to the fall of Masada, built out of a Latin Josephus and other sources and written as though by Josephus himself. It reorders, adds, and quietly removes the passage about Jesus.
