This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 911 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative and multidisciplinary Companion to Egypt during the Greco‐Roman and Late Antique period With contributions from noted authorities in the field, A Companion to Greco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt offers a comprehensive resource that covers almost 1000 years of Egyptian history, starting with the liberation of Egypt from Persian rule by Alexander the Great in 332 BC and ending in AD 642, when Arab rule started in the Nile country. The Companion takes a largely sociological perspective and includes a section on life portraits at the end of each part. The theme of identity in a multicultural environment and a chapter on the quality of life of Egypt's inhabitants clearly illustrate this objective. The authors put the emphasis on the changes that occurred in the Greco-Roman and Late Antique periods, as illustrated by such topics as: Traditional religious life challenged; Governing a country with a past: between tradition and innovation; and Creative minds in theory and praxis. This important resource: Discusses how Egypt became part of a globalizing world in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times Explores notable innovations by the Ptolemies and Romans Puts the focus on the longue durée development Offers a thematic and multidisciplinary approach to the subject, bringing together scholars of different disciplines Contains life portraits in which various aspects and themes of people’s daily life in Egypt are discussed Written for academics and students of the Greco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt period, this Companion offers a guide that is useful for students in the areas of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and New Testament studies.

Download or read book Texts from the "Archive" of Socrates, the Tax Collector, and Other Contexts at Karanis written by Mohamed Gaber El-Maghrabi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of Papyri contains a selection of 25 pieces which were excavated in the village of Karanis in the north-eastern Fayum (Egypt) by American archaeologists between 1924 and 1926. Many of the texts published here come from the archive of a well known figure in the village life of Karanis in the 2nd century AD: Socrates, son of Sarapion, was a tax collector here for many years, serving the Roman Empire collecting taxes due in money and in kind. Besides his successful economic activities - Socrates certainly belonged to the upper stratum of society in Karanis - the tax collector was a lover of Greek literature; for sure, he did not venture into high philosophy and the like, but he read Homer, comedies, and tried to be up to date about mythology in plays. Half of the new texts published here are literary, mostly from Socrates’ library; other texts were found in the immediate neighbourhood of where Socrates lived, such as a surgical treatise about remedies of shoulder dislocations, which perhaps belonged to a doctor. The other half of the papyrus texts in this volume are documents that can shed new light on the activities of the tax collector, or of other inhabitants of Karanis. Altogether they give us a vivid picture of village life in Graeco/Roman Egypt in the 2nd century AD.

Book excerpt: Between the Roman annexation of Egypt and the Arab period, the Nile Delta went from consisting of seven branches to two, namely the current Rosetta and Damietta branches. For historians, this may look like a slow process, but on a geomorphological scale, it is a rather fast one. How did it happen? How did human action contribute to the phenomenon? Why did it start around the Roman period? And how did it impact on ancient Deltaic communities? This volume reflects on these questions by focusing on a district of the north-eastern Delta called the Mendesian Nome. The Mendesian Nome is one of the very few Deltaic zones documented by a significant number of papyri. To date, this documentation has never been subject to a comprehensive study. Yet it provides us with a wealth of information on the region's landscape, administrative geography, and agrarian economy. Starting from these papyri and from all available evidence, this volume investigates the complex networks of relationships between Mendesian environments, socio-economic dynamics, and agro-fiscal policies. Ultimately, it poses the question of the 'otherness' of the Nile Delta, within Egypt and, more broadly, the Roman Empire. Section I sets the broader hydrological, documentary, and historical contexts from which the Roman-period Mendesian evidence stem. Section II is dedicated to the reconstruction of the Mendesian landscape, while section III examines the strategies of diversification and the modes of valorization of marginal land attested in the nome. Finally, section IV analyses the socio-environmental crisis that affected the nome in the second half of the second century AD.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band enthalt 53 literarische und dokumentarische Texte, die mit Ausnahme von zwei zugehorigen Fragmenten aus den Sammlungen von Princeton University, bzw. dem Istituto Papirologico 'G. Vitelli' in Florenz alle in der Papyrus-Sammlung der New York University aufbewahrt werden. Fur diese Publikation sind die ursprunglich in vier separaten Lieferungen der wohlbekannten Zeitschrift fur Papyrologie und Epigrafik (Bonn) erschienenen Texte neu durchgesehen und, falls notwendig, aktualisiert. Unter den dokumentarischen Texten sind alle Perioden aus der Geschichte des griechisch-romischen Agyptens zwischen 330 BCE und etwa 800 CE (d.h. die ptolemaische, die romische, die byzantinische und die fruh-arabische Periode) vertreten. Ein ebenfalls buntes Spektrum weisen die unterschiedlichen Herkunftsorte dieser Texte auf: die meisten Texte stammen aus dem Arsinoites, dem Oxyrhynchites oder dem Hermopolites, aber auch eine eher unubliche Provinz wie der Aphroditopolites ist vertreten, wahrend von vielen Texten die genaue Herkunft einfach unbekannt ist. Schliesslich sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die dokumentarischen Texte inhaltlich sehr verschieden sind: so sind Gattungen wie amtliche Korrespondenz, Privatbriefe, Steuer-Quittungen, Vertrage, Testamente usw. alle vertreten. Wahrend ein Uberblick der veroffentlichten New Yorker University-Papyri den Texten vorangeht, schliessen die ublichen Wortindizes den Band ab, an dessen Ende Bilder der einzelnen Objekte mitgegeben werden.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Roman Egypt written by Christina Riggs and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Egypt is a critical area of interdisciplinary research, which has steadily expanded since the 1970s and continues to grow. Egypt played a pivotal role in the Roman empire, not only in terms of political, economic, and military strategies, but also as part of an intricate cultural discourse involving themes that resonate today - east and west, old world and new, acculturation and shifting identities, patterns of language use and religious belief, and the management of agriculture and trade. Roman Egypt was a literal and figurative crossroads shaped by the movement of people, goods, and ideas, and framed by permeable boundaries of self and space. This handbook is unique in drawing together many different strands of research on Roman Egypt, in order to suggest both the state of knowledge in the field and the possibilities for collaborative, synthetic, and interpretive research. Arranged in seven thematic sections, each of which includes essays from a variety of disciplinary vantage points and multiple sources of information, it offers new perspectives from both established and younger scholars, featuring individual essay topics, themes, and intellectual juxtapositions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die beiden Orte Tebtynis und Soknopaiu Nesos sind aufgrund ihrer reichhaltigen griechischen und demotischen Papyrusfunde und der in jungster Zeit wiederaufgenommenen Grabungen dafur pradestiniert, als Ausgangspunkt fur interdisziplinare Forschungen zum Fajum im 1. und 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. zu dienen. Doch lange Zeit fand so gut wie kein Austausch zwischen Agyptologen, griechischen Papyrologen und Archaologen, die sich mit dem hellenistischen und romerzeitlichen Agypten beschaftigen, statt. Das interdiszi-plinare Symposion, das vom 11.-13. Dezember 2003 in Sommerhausen bei Wurzburg stattfand, fuhrte Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt zusammen, um aus deren aktuellen Forschungen ein umfassenderes Bild der wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturgeschichtlichen Zusammenhange sowie Impulse fur eine kunftige engere Zusammenarbeit der Nachbardisziplinen zu gewinnen.
