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