The Jews of Egypt. From Rameses II to Emperor Hadrian. Modrzejewski, Joseph Mele

sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Hellenistic Egypt was the setting for perhaps the first Jewish Golden Age, a time “golden” in Jewish memory as an era of vibrant cultural interaction between the Jews and their gentile hosts. This is the story of the adventures and misadventures of the people of Israel in the land of Egypt - the years shrouded in the mists of biblical history under the Pharaohs; the strange intermezzo of the Jewish mercenary detachment on the island of Elephantine on the upper Nile; the apogee of Jewish culture under Ptolemies; and, finally, the Jewish community’s rapid decline and catastrophic disappearance under Roman rule. Joseph Meleze Modrzejewski uses scientific analysis to illuminate the reality underlying our image of the past.
