Adespota Papyracea Hexametra Graeca provides a comprehensive corpus
of 'anonymous' hexameter texts on papyri, parchments, ostraca and
tablets that have appeared in the current and past two centuries.
The project has three main objectives: i) to retrieve and determine
how many and what type of unidentified hexameter poems reached us
via Egyptian papyri; ii) to restore a readable and reliable text
for these poems, providing straightforward access to material that
has been hard-to-reach in print format, is still unavailable
online, or has not been previously translated into English or any
other modern language; iii) to discuss, insofar as the fragmentary
state of the evidence allows, issues of style, metre, and
attribution. Overall, it aspires to serve as a fresh and solid
starting-point for future assessment of Greek poetry in Egypt from
the Archaic period to Late Antiquity. This first volume of papyrus
adespota contains: i) a catalogue of hexameter adespota, and ii)
critical editions with English translation and commentary of:
cosmologies and foundation poems (no. 01-06), astronomical and
astrological texts (07-12), didactic and technical poetry (13-16),
hymns (17-32), fragments of erotic content (33-38); epithalamia
(39-43); and two hexameter anthologies, the Goodspeed papyrus (44)
and the so-called Pamprepius codex (45). Future volumes will
contain: Encomia and Lamentations (46-67); Bucolic (68-71), and
Epic poetry (72-144); assemblages of Homeric verses (145-154);
magical verses (155-166); oracles (167-169); fragments of uncertain
genre or content (170-204); hexameter quotes from grammatical
papyri and ancient commentaries (205-216); (217-219); gnomic
hexameters (220-221); pangrams (222-235); texts copied or produced
within a school context (236-242).
