This volume collects 20 Greek and Latin literary papyri, mostly unpublished, which are housed in several collections: some belong to the Bodleian Library, Oxford; others are kept in Institutions scattered all around the world: the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, the Bibliothèque de Geneve, the Library of Columbia University, New York, and finally the IFAO, Cairo. The variety of the institutions holding the papyri is matched by the rich diversity of contents, book formats, and scripts. The contained texts range from prose to poetry, from erudition to astrology, and divination. Moreover, they come from a wide geographical area in the Egyptian chora, and range in date from the early Ptolemaic period to Late Antiquity’.
