| description | The Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions project began in October 2013, with the aim of creating a Corpus of up-to-date editions of the Greek and bilingual inscriptions on stone from Ptolemaic Egypt (323-30 BCE), numbering around 650 items. It is based on material collected and annotated by the late Peter Fraser FBA (1918-2007), the leading authority of the 20th century on the history and epigraphy of Ptolemaic Egypt and author of the renowned Ptolemaic Alexandria (Oxford, 1972). The CPI project aims not only to bring to completion the work of a great scholar but also to offer a deeper understanding of the history, culture and society of Ptolemaic Egypt. It will make available a full corpus of scholarly editions, replacing older publications and other partial collections organised by specific region or theme, and will offer for the first time a full picture of the Greek epigraphy of the Ptolemaic period. Following the publication, of several articles during the course of the project, this paper will provide a concise overview of the ‘Alexandria’ section in the Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscription —epigraphic monuments from Alexandria—, covering a wide range of activities in both public and private spheres of life. |
