Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vast array of texts produced on papyrus by the inhabitants of Roman Egypt during the first four centuries AD. Its twelve chapters, each devoted to a particular category of document, include texts recovered from excavations and from garbage heaps that provide glimpses of the lives and institutions of individuals, communities, and institutions on the local and provincial level. The book's chronological scope corresponds roughly with the period of Roman imperial rule in Egypt, from the establishment of Augustus as sole ruler in 30 BC to the fall of the Western Empire in 476 AD. Most of the documents are written in Greek; Demotic and Coptic, the native Egyptian languages, are less frequent but also included. The author provides an introduction to the nature and uses of papyrology and detailed discussions of the various types of texts, with translated samples and introductions to the important historical and institutional background. The book's insights into the lives and minds of the inhabitants of Roman Egypt are far-reaching and diverse, ranging from revealing the myriad of ways in which people interacted with institutions to providing glimpses of their religious and intellectual worlds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
