AB  - "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"--Provided by publisher.
