Among the very few papyri devoted to the work of the Attic orator
Lysias, one of the most interesting is certainly P. Oxy. XXXI 2537.
Dated palaeographically to the late 2nd-early 3rd century CE, it
contains the summaries of 22 Lysianic speeches, 18 of which were
formerly unknown or known just by the title and brief quotations in
lexicographers. And yet, despite the undeniable richness of this
collection, the papyrus has generally received little attention
from modern scholarship, and no complete survey of its many aspects
of significance has been yet produced. This work aims to fill this
gap: along with a new transcription and critical edition based on
autopsy of the papyrus, this book provides a translation and the
first exhaustive commentary of the text. Through careful textual
and juridical analysis, the author examines both the relationship
between summaries and speeches, with a discussion of the
significant legal features of each procedure, and the overall
importance of this papyrus for the history of the corpus of Lysias.
The book will thus be of interest for papyrologists, legal
historians, students of Attic oratory, and researchers in the field
of the history of the material culture of Graeco-Roman Egypt alike.
