Synopsis

Discover ancient wine receipts from Wadi Sarga and how they reveal everyday commerce in a vanished world.

This work presents Coptic and Greek texts from the excavations conducted by the Byzantine Research Account. It offers translations and notes that help readers understand how receipts and records captured the delivery and handling of wine in a real historical setting. The material illustrates the practical side of ancient trade and the day-to-day life of camel-drivers and suppliers in the region, through carefully edited texts and discussion.

• See receipts and accounts that track wine delivery and payments, with careful editorial notes.


• Learn how the texts are organized and what details like measures, names, and places reveal about commerce.


• Explore the challenges of fragmentary inscriptions and how scholars interpret them.


• Find context that connects Coptic and Greek sources to broader ancient economy studies.

Ideal for readers of papyrology, epigraphy, and historians interested in daily life and trade in late antique Egypt.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
