520 The development of science in the modern world is often
held to depend on such institutions as universities, peer-
reviewed journals, and democracy. How, then, did new
science emerge in the pre-modern culture of the
Hellenistic Egyptian monarchy? Berrey argues that the
court society formed around the Ptolemaic pharaohs Ptolemy
III and IV (reigned successively 246-205/4 BCE) provided
an audience for cross-disciplinary, learned knowledge, as
physicians, mathematicians, and mechanicians clothed
themselves in the virtues of courtiers attendant on the
kings. The multicultural Greco-Egyptian court society
prized entertainment that drew on earlier literature,
mixed genres and cultures, and highlighted motion and
sound. New cross-disciplinary science in the Hellenistic
period gained its social currency and subsequent
scientific success through its entertainment value as
court science. Ancient court science sheds light on the
long history of scientific interdisciplinarity.
