This book demonstrates that Alexandria became - through the contemporary reputation of its library - a point of confluence for Greek, Roman, Jewish and Syrian culture that drew scholars and statesmen from throughout the ancient world. It also explores the histories of Alexander the Great and of Alexandria itself, the greatest city of the ancient world. This new paperback edition offers general readers an accessible introduction to the history of this magnificent yet still mysterious institution from the time of its foundation up to its tragic destruction.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 160mmContributor: Roy MacLeod (Edited by)Author: Roy MacLeodGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
