Since the earliest publications in the 19th century, Greek literary papyri have steadily rekindled the study of Graeco-Roman literature. By bringing to light new texts and even new genres, enriching the material basis for textual criticism of known texts, and mapping contexts of production and use of literary texts, Papyrology has played a key role as an ancillary discipline to literary and cultural studies of Graeco-Roman antiquity for about two centuries. This book is a state-of-the-art guide into the field of Literary Papyrology, aimed at both students and scholars. It combines a critical reappraisal of the past few decades of work on Greek literary and subliterary papyri with a retrospective look at earlier phases of the discipline. The book offers both an overview of the main contributions of the discipline to our knowledge of Greek literature and culture, and a discussion of the possibilities and challenges of Literary Papyrology today.
