Description
Das antike Alexandria war eines der zentralen Drehkreuze der hellenistischen Welt und ein kulturelles und religiöses Kaleidoskop. Geschäftsleute und Migrierende, Gelehrte, Philosophen und die religiöse Avantgarde strömten aus aller Welt in diese Metropole. Entsprechend wurde Alexandria zu einem Ort, an dem hellenistische, ägyptische, jüdische und frühchristliche Identitäten entstanden, koexistierten, sich gegenseitigen beeinflussten und miteinander rivalisierten. Die Prozesse der Identitätsbildung sind aus verschiedenen interdisziplinären Blickwinkeln zu beleuchten, um der Vielfalt des urbanen Lebens und dem Reichtum der literarischen und nicht-literarischen Quellen gerecht zu werden. Der vorliegende Band versammelt sechsundzwanzig Beiträge aus den Bereichen der Archäologie, der Alten Geschichte, der Klassischen Philologie, der Religionswissenschaften, der Philosophie, der alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft, der Narratologie, der Judaistik, der Papyrologie und der neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft.
