This book is the outcome of the conference "Imperial Alexandria:
Interactions between Science, Religion and Literature", held at
Salamanca University in October 2011. The conference convened a
group of experts from different fields to address the
interrelationship between Science, Religion and Literature in the
Graeco-Roman world during the Imperial Period, and especially in
Alexandria, situating it within the context of the long tradition
of knowledge that had been consolidating itself in this city, above
all during the Hellenistic era. The encounter's main aim was to
create a forum for interdisciplinary reflection on "the Alexandrian
model" of knowledge in the Imperial Period and its background,
being attended by philologists and historians specialising in
different types of texts (literary, scientific and religious),
whose study requires an interdisciplinary approach, with priority
being given to the notion of contact and the relationship between
these subjects in order to gain a better understanding of the
spirit, way of thinking and moral values of a particularly
important era in the development of ancient culture.
