Week 30

But ancient Alexandria really was in a way the last very greatest of all Greek cities, so we will devote our last meeting to this extraordinary explosion of creativity and research and publishing and librarianship and all these great things that came out of this Greek city in Egypt that flourished all the way to the Islamic conquest in the 600's.
