Rezensionen

Review of the hardback: 'Good books are common. Great books are rare, and rarer still are great books that have the potential of moving scholarship in a new direction. Such a work is Counting the People in Hellenistic Egypt ...

All historians of Hellenistic Egypt are in their debt.' Ancient West and East
