Alexandria. An important city in the Roman Empire, Alexandria in Egypt was a centre of both Hellenism and Judaism. The foundation of the Church is traditionally ascribed to St
Mark. It won fame as a centre of Christian thought through the work of
Clement and
Origen. Its ecclesiastical importance increased in the 4th and 5th cents., especially under its bishops
Athanasius and
Cyril. It was later diminished by the rise of
Constantinople, further reduced by the adherence of most Egyptian Christians to the
Monophysites, and virtually destroyed by the Persian and Arab invasions of the 7th cent. At the division of the E. and W. Churches, Alexandria remained on the side of the Constantinople. See also
COPTIC CHURCH.
