Historians, classicists, and archeologists will welcome Professor
Turner's lucid introduction to the field of Greek papyrology. The
relatively recent rediscovery of Greek (and Latin) texts on papyrus
has made possible greatly improved editions of classic works and
has provided a deeper understanding of life in classical times.
Professor Turner considers papyrus as a writing material, goes on
to the problems of excavating for papyri, editing a papyrus text,
determining its author and owners, and so on. He discusses the
relation of papyri to Greek literature as well as to various types
of non-literary documents, and he assesses various contributions
papyri have made to ancient history. A list of the principal
editions of papyri is included. Originally published in 1968. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
