In Israel in Egypt scholars in different fields explore what can be
known of the experiences of the many and varied Jewish communities
in Egypt, from biblical sources to the medieval world. For generations
of Jews from antiquity to the medieval period, the land of Egypt
represented both a place of danger to their communal religious
identity and also a haven with opportunities for prosperity and
growth. A volume of collected essays from scholars in fields ranging
from biblical studies and classics to papyrology and archaeology, Israel
in Egypt explores what can be known of the experiences of the many
and varied Jewish communities in Egypt, from biblical sources to the
medieval world.
