". . . a richly textured presentation. . . . [The book] will likely
be the first place to which anyone interested in the architecture
of post-pharaonic Egypt will turn for many years to come."--Hector
Williams, Egyptian Archaeology

"Outstanding. . . and beautifully written. . . . This is a book
that all those interested in the art and architecture of the
eastern Mediterranean, Pompeian wall-paintings, Ancient Egypt, and
indeed Islamic architecture should study and learn from."--Andrew
Selkirk, Current World Archaeology
*Current World Archaeology*
"This work will be a vital resource for anyone undertaking research
on the city; yet the clarity and engaging tone of the prose make it
thoroughly accessible to nonspecialists and lay readers as well."--

of America
*Archaeological Institute of America*
"McKenzie [brings] together a huge body of material, much of it
previously difficult to access, and [presents] it all in a single,
authoritative volume. . . . an essential resource for research into
Hellenistic, Roman and late antique architecture."--Ruth Westgate,
Journal of Hellenic Studies
*Journal of Hellenic Studies*
". . . a detailed examination of the distinctive contribution that
Alexandria made to the arts of Egypt and of the Eastern
Mediterranean. . . . McKenzie has provided a landmark work of
enduring value that mixes erudition with clarity."--Ross Burns,
Levant
*Levant*
"This book should be an absolute 'must-read' for someone visiting
Alexandria, but also for the visitor to other parts of Egypt: the
great Ptolemaic temples. . . the many Coptic churches, monasteries
and even the early mosques."--Ancient Egypt
