ALEXANDRIA LEINEN

Alexandria was one of the main hubs of the Hellenistic world and a cultural and religious
kaleidoscope. Merchants and migrants  scientists and scholars  philosophers  and religious
innovators from all over the world and from all social backgrounds came to this ancient
metropolis and exchanged their goods  views  and dreams. Accordingly  Alexandria became a place
where Hellenistic  Egyptian  Jewish  and early Christian identities all emerged  coexisted 
influenced  and rivaled each other. In order to meet the diversity of Alexandria's urban life
and to do justice to the variety of literary and non-literary documents that bear witness to
this  the volume examines the processes of identity formation from a range of different
academic perspectives. Thus  the present volume gathers together twenty-six contributions from
the realm of archaeology  ancient history  classical philology  religious studies  philosophy 
the Old Testament  narratology  Jewish studies  papyrology  and the New Testament.
