Ebook: Ethnicity in Ptolemaic Egypt

Goudriaan, K. Ethnicity in Ptolemaic Egypt. 1988 This study takes as its starting point a complaint made by the late Claire Préaux with regard to Ptolemaic Egypt, that one does not know how to tell Greeks and Egyptians asunder. The author tries to find an answer to this question by making use of the concept of ethnicity developed in modern anthropology. He also deals with the problem whether or not the Ptolemaic administration took ethnicity into account. DMAHA 5 (1988), 185 p. - 32.00 EURO, ISBN: 9050630227
