This book charts the thousand-year journey of Alexandria, from its foundation by Alexander the Great to its eventual decline under Roman and later Arab rule. It explores how the city became the Mediterranean’s crucible of science, scholarship and commerce, housing the legendary Library and Museum. The authors reconstruct the lives of astronomers, mathematicians and poets who turned Alexandria into an intellectual lighthouse. Political intrigue, religious conflict and shifting trade routes are woven into the story of why the city ultimately lost its pre-eminence.
