The Greek Presence in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Released on the occasion of the opening of the Manuscript Center's latest addition to the Heritage Publishing Section; the CD Copying Unit by HE Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak. The Unit was established upon a generous donation by Greece to the BA. The CD reviews the Library's most remarkable holdings of Greek works and symbols. Among which are: the gigantic salvaged statue of Ptolemy II (Philadelphuis), a memorial of the Librarians of ancient Alexandria, as well as many statues and works of art representing Queen Cleopatra, Goddess Isis, Homer, Demetrius of Phaleron, Menander, to name but few.
Publishing Year: 2004.
