#papyrology — Public Fediverse posts

I've just uploaded a personal archive I made of some 2,458 images of papyri from the British Library website ca. 2021 to the @internetarchive here: https://archive.org/details/blpapimarchive #papyrology #PublicDomain

Uri #Yiftach, from the #University of #TelAviv, one of the great papyrologists of our time, explaining his work on #MachineLearning to better understand ancient texts. Among the international audience there are #Muslims, participating in the discourse.

This is an essential part of the #THEuMa vision: #Science should contribute to #peace, not #boycott.

Alright, making a first pass at linking in the last few years' worth of #PublicDomain #Papyrology volumes in the papyri.info Checklist of Editions: https://papyri.info/docs/checklist

The way papyrologists reconstruct ancient texts based on tiny scraps of papyrus seems like sorcery.

And really, it is sorcery. But it also makes sense. Here's a look at an example from the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women.

We're about halfway through scanning our entire(!) #Papyrology Reading Room here at Duke (about 1,200 volumes). Uncontroversially #PublicDomain volumes are being added to the @internetarchive here: https://archive.org/details/papyrology #papyri #histodons

Apparently antichretic loans are quite common in Bolivia? Obviously something Bolivians know well, but news to me!
Another way #papyrology prepares you for the world!

I've signed up for this, so I figure I should give it a go. I normally work on #ancienthistory and #papyrology (and #classics / #ancientcultures more broadly). Looking forward to seeing what sort of community emerges over here!

Wenn an der #UBLeipzig internationale #Papyrus-Expert*innen zusammenkommen, wird nicht nur Fachwissen ausgetauscht, sondern auch ein 1.300 Jahre alter Papyruskodex präsentiert: ➡️ https://blog.ub.uni-leipzig.de/was-tut-papyrus-gut/ #papyrusconservation #papyrology

The Bankes Homer (P. Lond. Lit. 28), a 2nd cent. papyrus of Iliad 24.

The marginal notes are especially striking (pointed out to me by someone on AskHistorians). They indicate who's speaking each bit of direct speech. That's a new one on me!

Lots of new folks around, so I thought I'd surface again the #OnThisDay posts of ancient (mostly #Greek or #Roman) documents on #papyrus, #parchment, and/or #ostraka (ceramic sherds) by @ryanfb. They're of interest to #archaeology #ancientHistory and #classics people especially.

His latest (today) is about a labeled jar of wheat (a commercial sample), dating to 2 BCE and found at the site of Oxyrhynchos in Egypt: https://botsin.space/@ryanfb/109268607363510845

Slides and abstract on the talk "Information and functionality in scholarly digital editions" I'll give tomorrow online at the Digital #Papyrology 3.0 conference are now online in http://www.paolomonella.it/parma2022/index.html Conference programme in http://www.papirologia.unipr.it/eventi/dp3/index.html

I've talked @ryanfb into bringing his #OnThisDay #papyrology posts into the fediverse. Here's the first one:
