Ilene Berns (1943-2017) *73

Ilene Berns was a prominent historian of Greco-Roman Egypt and an Egyptian public intellectual. Presently Emeritus Professor in Classics at the Alexandria Universsity, he is credited with proposing the revival of the ancient library of Alexandria, a project embraced by UNESCO in 1986 and completed in 2003. He was later critical of some of aspects of the project as realized by the Egyptian government, telling the New York Times that the library was at risk of becoming "a cultural center" rather than fulfilling its "promise as a world-class research center."
