Amh. gr. 49. 330 $aThis history of land tenure under the Ptolemies explores the relationship between the new Ptolemaic state and the ancient traditions of landholding and tenure. Departing from the traditional emphasis on the Fayyum, it offers a coherent framework for understanding the structure of the Ptolemaic state, and thus of the economy as a whole. Drawing on both Greek and demotic papyri, as well as hieroglyphic inscriptions and theories taken from the social sciences, Professor Manning argues that the traditional central state 'despotic' model of the Egyptian economy is insufficient. The result is a subtler picture of the complex relationship between the demands of the new state and the ancient, locally organized social structure of Egypt. By revealing the dynamics between central and local power in Egypt, the book shows that Ptolemaic economic power ultimately shaped Roman Egyptian social and economic institutions. 517 3 $aLand & Power in Ptolemaic Egypt 606 $aLand tenure$zEgypt$xHistory 606 $aEgyptian language$vPapyri, Demotic 606 $aReal property$zEgypt$xHistory$vSources 607 $aEgypt$xEconomic conditions$y332 B.C.-640 A.D$vSources 615 0$aLand tenure$xHistory. 615 0$aEgyptian language 615 0$aReal property$xHistory 676 $a333.3/0932/09014 700 $aManning$b Joseph Gilbert$0475377 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783112503321 996 $aLand and power in Ptolemaic Egypt$92705054 997 $aUNINA
