| | Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The early Ptolemies kept it in order and fostered the development of its museum into the leading Greek university (Library of Alexandria) but were careful to maintain the distinction of its population into three nations: "Greek", Jewish and Egyptian. | | | If the story of the Flight into Egypt is historical, then Jesus, Mary and Joseph may have spent time in Alexandria, which had a sizeable Jewish population at the time. | | | A number of the more foundation myths are found in the Alexander Romance and were picked up by mediæval Arab historians. |

| | eHistory.com: The Burning of the Library of Alexandria |
| | Unfortunately most of the writers from Plutarch (who apparently blamed Caesar) to Edward Gibbons (a staunch atheist or deist who liked very much to blame Christians and blamed Theophilus) to Bishop Gregory (who was particularly anti-Moslem, blamed Omar) all had an axe to grind and consequently must be seen as biased. | | | It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations. | | | Shortly after that, riots broke out when Hierax, a Christian monk, was publicly killed by order of Orestes the city Prefect. |

| | Alexandria Sailing Schooner |
| | Finally, only one person who had sailed the schooner before agreed to go with him, despite the loyalty we all had to that strong-hearted and endlessly forgiving ship. | | | Several of my crewmates, some whom I trained, phoned me during the period when Iverson was trying to get crewmen to sail with him. | | | SchoonerMan's site mentions an article in which Yale Iverson says he didn't listen because the Foundation "had not taken the ship out since April." Evidently he did not even read the ship's log, some of which I have in my possession (photocopies). |

| | For twenty years (1215-35) the Jacobites were without a patriarch, because they could not agree among themselves. | | | Demetrius governed the Church of Alexandria for forty-two years, and it was he who deposed and excommunicated Origen, notwithstanding his great work as a catechist. | | | There were, however, some Christians, as there are today, who were in no sense schismatical, but remained in full communion with the Holy See. |
