Sefer Joseph Hamekane, or the Book of Joseph the Official, is a 13th-century Jewish apologetic text. The title is also sometimes translated Book of Joseph the Zealot.[1] The book is the third oldest of a series of treatises containing selected rabbinical translations of Matthew, following the Book of Nestor (c. 900) and the Milhamot HaShem (1170), and leading to later works including Ibn Shaprut's Touchstone, Jean du Tillet's Hebrew Matthew, and Rahabi Ezekiel's Hebrew Matthew of the 1750s.
