As one of the greatest cities of antiquity, Alexandria has always
been a severe challenge to its historians, all the more so because
the surviving evidence, material and textual, is so disparate. New
archaeological and literary discoveries and the startling diversity
of ancient Alexandria (so reminiscent of some modern cities) add to
the interest. The present volume contains the papers given at a
conference at Columbia University in 2002 which attempted to lay
some of the foundations for a new history of Alexandria by
considering, in particular, its position between the traditions and
life of Egypt on the one hand, and on the other the immigrants who
came there from Greece and elsewhere in the wake of the founder
Alexander of Macedon.
A collection of primary sources detailing the life and career of
Oliver Lee Neer (1858-1935).
