Alexandrie médiévale 2
Christian Décobert (ed)

Etudes Alexandrines 8, Cairo, IFAO, 2002.
The second gathering dedicated to medieval Alexandria (6-7/11/99) concentrated, once again, on the end of Antiquity and the Arab period (before the arrival of the Ottomans) by bringing together specialists in these two fields, which are too often separated by the conquests of the 640s. Two common themes were the economy and religion and we were presented with - among other topics - the economic activities of the monks of Canopus, the "miraculous economy" of the Patriarchate of Alexandria, the enterprise spirit of 11th century Jewish shipowners, the consequences of the relations between Bedouins and Christians on the regional economy etc. Papyrology, literary, liturgic and hagiographic sources were all employed to draw up this new image of Alexandria.
