Greek Papyri and the Society of Graeco-Roman Egypt (RSS4.07) - Sold out

Startdate: 8 July 2024 - 12 July 2024
ECTS credits: 2 ECTS. For more information see credits and certificate.

Doing papyrology requires a broad set of skills and knowledge, for instance of the Greek language, Greek palaeography and of Greek, Roman and Egyptian history. One aim of this course is to familiarize you with the various aspects of Greek papyrology through lectures in which experts will share their knowledge and experience. The other aim is to gain insight in the tasks of a papyrologist through a hands-on approach featuring unpublished papyrus fragments. In small groups (of 2 or 3 participants), you will study one of the fragments and prepare an edition of the fragment. In addition, each group will peer-review the results of the other groups in plenary discussions. Using these discussions’ input, each group can finalize the edition of its own fragment. In the period after the Summer School we will stay in touch and prepare all the editions for publication.

The results of the 2021 Radboud Summer School have been published in an international journal, and the editions of the 2023 Summer School are currently being prepared for publication.
