This text summarises the four essays gathered together in the volume, which look at Egypt from different perspectives both as a crucial crossroad of translations and cultural interweavings
and as a vehicle for the formation of literary culture. They have one fundamental aspect in common: an interpretation of Egyptian multilingualism and multiculturalism (and therefore of the translations from one language to another) as a nuanced phenomenon that cannot be explained by means of a simplistic interpretation.
