[EAN: 9780520059306], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 5.0], [PU: University of California Press. 29.10.1986.], Jacket, 264 Seiten / p., Abb. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The thousand years between Alexander the Great’s invasion in 332 Bcand the Arab Conquest in ad 642 was a period of great importance and enormous change in the history of Egypt. The defeat of Anthony and Cleopatra in 31 bc ended the Hellenistic era and made Egypt a province of the Roman empire. Under the Byzantine emperors Egypt’s influence grew in the Eastern Mediterranean, Christianity spread and was not seriously threatened until the onslaught of Islam. -- This is the first important history of Egypt during this period to be published since the end of the Second World War. It thus fills an important gap in our knowledge. Exploiting a vast and unique collection of papyrus texts and examining the most recent scholarship, the author has revised substantially our prevailing conceptions of Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine Egypt. Previous scholarship tended to ignore Egyptian in favor of Greek sources for this era. Dr Bowman seeks to remedy this defect by stressing the culture of the Egyptian majority. His work is rich in illustrative material that provides the reader with a detailed picture of life in Egypt. -- Egypt After the Pharaohs should appeal to the general reader as well as the specialist. The period it treats is an extraordinarily fascinating one which witnessed the arrival of Hellenistic culture in Egypt, the cultural efflorescence of Alexandria, the reign of the Ptolemies, the conquest of Rome, and the rise of Christianity. This rich social, cultural, and intellectual ferment comes alive in Professor Bowman’s narrative.
