The study of ancient law has blossomed in recent years. In English
alone there have been dozens of studies devoted to classical Greek
and Roman law, to the Roman legal codes, and to the legal
traditions of the ancient Near East among many other topics. Legal
documents written on papyrus began to be published in some
abundance by the end of the nineteenth century; but even after
substantial publication history, legal papyri have not received due
attention from legal historians. This book blends the two usually
distinct juristic scholarly traditions, classical and
Egyptological, into a coherent presentation of the legal documents
from Egypt from the Ptolemaic to the late Byzantine periods, all
translated and accompanied by expert commentary. The volume will
serve as an introduction to the rich legal sources from Egypt in
the later phases of its ancient history as well as a tool to
compare legal documents from other cultures.
