Abstract

Heir of Ptolemy son of Lagus, Alexander the Great's general (who took Egypt over in 323BC), Ptolemy II Philadelphus reigned in Alexandria from 282 to 246. The greatest of the Hellenistic kings of his time, Philadelphus exercised power far beyond the confines of Egypt, while at his glittering royal court the Library of Alexandria grew to be a matchless monument to Greek intellectual life. In Egypt the Ptolemaic régime consolidated its power by encouraging immigration and developing settlement in the Fayum. This book examines Philadelphus' reign in a comprehensive and refreshing way. Scholars from the fields of Classics, Archaeology, Papyrology, Egyptology and Biblical Studies consider issues in Egypt and across Ptolemaic territory in the Mediterranean, the Holy Land and Africa.

Abstract

Egyptian historiography is determined by the fact that transmission of the historical record is left to chance. Ludwig Morenz therefore develops a method of “fragmentarily thick description,” borrowing terminology from anthropologist Clifford Geertz, as a way of addressing the holes left in the record while still arriving at as complete a picture of the third century BCE Gebelein society as possible. From this localized perspective, a new understanding of the region’s culture, including conceptualizations of the landscape, the socio-economic situation, the mentality of the people and their methods of discourse, arises. Even with this new method the private realities of the men, women, and children can remain in shadows. However, it is possible, as a result of the descriptive model, to better understand the sources at hand and to draw connections among intellectual-, economic-, and social-historical frameworks. Utilizing Morenz’s method widens our understanding of the traditionally undervalued “dark” times of the third century BCE Gebelein region. Upon closer examination of the socio-economic and mentalities history, the transformation of Egyptian society emerges as colorful and contradictory.

Abstract

En 323 av. J.-C., à la mort d'Alexandre le Grand, le vaste territoire conquis par le Macédonien est partagé entre ses généraux. L'un d'entre eux, Ptolémée, hérite du pays du Nil où il fonde la dynastie des Lagides qui règne jusqu'à la mort de Cléopâtre VII en 30 av. J.-C. Durant trois siècles, des Gréco- Macédoniens s'installent en Égypte où se développe une société atypique. Alexandrie, cité grecque et nouvelle capitale dynastique, rayonne sur l'ensemble du bassin méditerranéen. Sa Bibliothèque royale, lieu d'accumulation et de recherche totalement inédit, devient le nouveau coeur de l'hellénisme. Fondée par Ptolémée Ier avec le soutien de Démétrios de Phalère (330- 282 av. J.-C.), cette structure exceptionnelle à plus d'un titre est considérée traditionnellement comme le point de départ de l'histoire des bibliothèques. Néanmoins, les sources littéraires directes et les vestiges archéologiques sont rares voire inexistants. La découverte, en dehors d'Alexandrie, de plusieurs centaines de fragments de rouleaux de papyrus d'oeuvres littéraires grecques témoigne de l'étendue de la dynamique culturelle et patrimoniale. L'étude des bibliothèques grecques en Égypte ptolémaïque lève le voile sur la diversité des structures de conservation et la nature des collections, tant à Alexandrie que dans les villes et villages hellénophones, notamment dans le Fayoum. Ces travaux de recherche portent un nouveau regard sur la richesse et la vitalité intellectuelle à l'époque lagide et permettent de revoir l'approche alexandro-centrée.

Abstract

Amyrtaeus, only pharaoh of the Twenty-eighth Dynasty, shook off the shackles of Persian rule in 404 BCE; a little over seventy years later, Ptolemy son of Lagus started the ‘Greek millennium’ (J.G. Manning’s phrase) in Egypt―living long enough to leave a powerful kingdom to his youngest son, Ptolemy II, in 282.In this book, expert studies document the transformation of Egypt through the dynamic fourth century, and the inauguration of the Ptolemaic state. Ptolemy built up his position as ruler subtly and steadily. Continuity and change marked the Egyptian-Greek encounter. The calendar, the economy and coinage, the temples, all took on new directions. In the great new city of Alexandria, the settlers’ burial customs had their own story to tell.

Abstract

Hauptbeschreibung Die Verwaltung Ägyptens in ptolemaiischer Zeit ist insbesondere aufgrund von zahlreichen Papyrusfunden relativ gut bezeugt. Dennoch bleiben viele Fragen - nicht zuletzt im Hinblick auf die Verwaltung der Provinzen und der Einflussgebiete. Trotz der angedeuteten Schwierigkeiten wird hier zum ersten Mal der Versuch unternommen, ein Gesamtbild der Verwaltung des ptolemaiischen Reichs zu erstellen. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in zwei große Teile: Im ersten Teil werden die Verwaltungskompetenzen der Funktionäre untersucht, im zweiten Teil werden die Verwaltungsmaßnahme
