This second selection of articles by Professor Meleze-Modrzejewski deals with the questions of personal status and family ties in Classical law, both Greco-Roman and Eastern. It covers the period up to the Christian era, with Hellenistic Egypt as its focus. The first studies examine what was held to distinguish free men, slaves and animals, as well as what constituted a 'Greek' in Lagid Egypt. The following section looks at the legal structures of Greek marriage and, in particular, at the problem of 'irregular' unions, whether between close relatives or with foreigners. Finally, the author deals with two aspects of a person's estate: the State's appropriation of this where there was no heir, and the nature of foundations in Greek law. The volume concludes with a section of additional notes. Ce nouveau recueil du prof. Joseph Meleze Modrzejewski (pour le premier, voir ; oooo) propose un choix de dix etudes relatives au statut personnel et aux liens de famille dans les droits de l'Antiquite orientale et greco-romaine, jusqu'A l'epoque chretienne.

This is the story of the adventures and misadventures of the Jewish people in the land of Egypt. The author uses the clear light of scientific analysis and archaeological research to illuminate the reality underlying the images from the Biblical accounts and Jewish and pagan literary texts, through the great "love affair" between Jews and Hellenic culture. It ends with the brief but crucial episode when budding Christianity and the Alexandrian Jews parted company.
