The 'Therapeutae' were a Jewish group of ascetic philosophers who lived outside Alexandria in the middle of the first century CE. This study focuses on issues of history, rhetoric, women, and gender in a wide exploration of the group, about the 'Therapeutae' and their relationship with the Jewish allegorical school of exegesis in Alexandria.
