Alexandria

Zusatztext

Alexandria was the intellectual capital of the Hellenistic-Roman world and at the same time a melting pot of cultures and religions. It was the center of philology, science and Platonic philosophy as well as the home of well-known pagan cults. It played a prominent role in ancient Judaism and its Hellenization as well as in early Christianity and its theology. In 21 individual studies, all of which are linked, scholars from various disciplines (classical studies, theology, Jewish studies, Islamic studies) explore the numerous facets of this city in the conflict between culture and religion, ranging from the archeology and the history of the city, from the pagan and the Jewish up to the Christian and Islamic Alexandria.
