Summary "History of Egypt From 330 B.C. To the Present Time, Volume 11 (of 12)" by S. Rappoport is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This volume delves into pivotal periods of Egyptian history, including the Roman, Christian, and early Arabic eras. The text likely covers significant developments such as the administration under Augustus, the rise of Christianity, and the Arab invasions, highlighting the political and social transformations that Egypt underwent during these times. The opening of the volume introduces the Roman administration in Egypt following its conquest. It describes Augustus's governance, including the establishment of a new political order characterized by prefects of low birth and Roman laws applied in a unique fashion. Key events such as the introduction of the Julian calendar, tensions between the Jewish and Greek populations in Alexandria, and the religious transformations brought on by both Roman rule and the emergence of Christianity are discussed. The narrative sets the stage for understanding the complexities of Egypt’s integration into the Roman Empire and the profound cultural shifts that followed, establishing a foundation for subsequent chapters that will explore further developments.
