History of Egypt From 330 B.C. To the Present Time, Volume 11 (of 12)

A comprehensive survey of Egypt’s political, religious, and social transformations from the late Hellenistic period through Roman and Christian eras into early Islamic rule, examining administrative and fiscal reforms, legal and sectarian controversies, the development of monasticism, and the decline of older urban centers. The work traces military encounters and dynastic changes, charts shifts in commerce, coinage, architecture, and manuscript traditions, and organizes material into chapters on Roman, Christian, and Muslim periods, supplemented by numerous illustrations and documentary excerpts to illuminate cultural and institutional change.
