The Derveni papyrus is the oldest literary papyrus ever found, and
one of the very few from Greece itself, which makes it one of the
most interesting new texts from the ancient Greek world to have
been discovered this century. The eschatological doctrines and an
allegorical commentary on an Orphic theogony in terms of
Presocratic physics which it contains make it a uniquely important
document for the history of ancient Greek religion, philosophy, and
literary criticism. This book is the first to have been published
on the text. It includes a full and reliable translation of the
Papyrus together with a range of articles by leading European and
American classicists who are internationally recognised experts in
Greek religion and philosophy. Professor K. Tsantsanoglou, who will
publish the papyrus when work on it is complete, presents important
new material and has checked all the articles against the Papyrus.
Thus for the first time, material is provided which will authorize
scholarship upon the Papyrus in a way hitherto impossible, will
stimulate further work on it, and will make the book a standard
reference work on the subject for years to come.
