The Therapeutae were a community of Jews living in Egypt.

Overview

The life of the Therapeutae was described in details and with much admiration in Philo's De vita contemplativa.

The similarities with the Essenes seem to suggested some sort of connection between the two movements. Eusebius thought that Therapeutae was the name given by Philo to the first Christians in Egypt.
