Named for Alexander the Great, the Great City of Alexandria in ancient Egypt housed the famous Library of Alexandria and University of Alexandria. It became a meeting place of ideas, philosophies, cultures and religions, which were often integrated with one another to form new ones. Philo was notable among the philosophers there, and Eusebius brought the Bible to Constantine from Alexandrian editions. Alexandria is also known as one of the 'birthplaces' of Gnosticim, and many non-canonical additions to Scripture.
