Cette publication des 3527 monnaies trouvées dans les fouilles du Centre d'Études Alexandrines étudie les productions de l'atelier monétaire d'Alexandrie depuis sa création par Ptolémée I ainsi que les différentes formes d'utilisation jusqu'à l'époque moderne de la monnaie de bronze. L'état des pièces souvent très abimées a conduit à définir les critères les plus significatifs pour identifier la monnaie. On a constaté que le classement par règnes en usage pour les Ptolémées ne correspondait pas à l'histoire monétaire et que l'important était d'identifier la valeur des pièces utilisées. Deux pratiques originales marquent l'usage de la monnaie en Égypte : la fermeture du marché aux monnaies étrangères, connue sous les Ptolémées, conservée sous l'Empire romain et réapparue a l'époque byzantine ; la flambée des prix connue par les papyrus, souvent interprétée comme un phénomène d'inflation, que l'analyse de la fabrication de la monnaie inviteà reconsidérer.

In adopting the theme of What Happened to the Ancient Library of Alexandria? this book aims at presenting afresh, a highly specialized discussion of primary sources related to the diverse aspects and episodes of that long disputed question. The book covers a wide range of topics, beginning with an initial presentation of different Ancient Egyptian types of library institutions, with a special focus on the later Coptic Nag Hamadi Library. It then deals with the troubled times under later Ptolemies and Romans, when the Royal Library, the Daughter Library and the Mouseion, came under a succession of threats: Caesar’s Alexandrian War in 48 B.C., and during the tragic developments in the third and fourth centuries which ultimately culminated in the destruction of the Serapeum that housed the Daughter Library. A discussion of the intellectual milieu during the fourth and fifth centuries, follows, as well as the conflicting attitudes within the Church with regard to classical learning. An analysis of historical and new archaeological evidence confirms the fact that Alexandria continued to be a city of books and scholarship centuries after the destruction of the Library. Finally, the late medieval Arab story of the destruction of the Library by order of Caliph Omar, is fully considered and refuted through textual analysis of the original sources. Contributors include: William J. Cherf, Dimitar Y. Dimitrov, Maria Dzielska, Mostafa A. El-Abbadi, Jean-Yves Empereur, Fayza M. Haikal, Georges Leroux, Bernard Lewis, Grzegorz Majcherek, Mounir H. Megally, Birger A. Pearson, Lucien X. Polastron, Qassem Abdou Qassem, and Ismail Serageldin.

In this second volume in the new series entitled Antiquités Alexandrines, Elzbieta Rodziewicz presents an overview of Alexandrian bone and ivory work by drawing upon her incomparable knowledge of the material that has been unearthed from the excavations of the Polish mission at Kom el-Dikka, as well as the salvage digs of the Centre d'Études Alexandrines in the Brucheion district, the western necropolis and the chora of the city. After examining the vestiges found within the workshops around Street R4 and neighbourhood, she explores the sources of supply--Indian and African elephants, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and other mammals. She reconstitutes the manufacturing techniques and describes the various uses of the material, elements of furniture and boxes, jewellery, tools, games, dolls etc., the styles, the traditions and the sometimes sudden changes.
