"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
