The modern rediscovery of the Greek and Latin papyri from Egypt has
transformed our knowledge of the ancient world. We cannot, however,
make the same claim in the specific area of language study.
Although important studies of the language of the papyri have
appeared sporadically over the past century, we are still dealing
today with a linguistic resource of extraordinary richness which
has hardly begun to be explored. Every scrap of papyrus and every
ostracon (potsherd) or tablet unearthed has the potential to change
some aspect of the way we think about the Greek and Latin
languages. This book demonstrate that potential, by gathering
together essays from seventeen scholars who present a variety of
perspectives and methodological approaches. The Language of the
Papyri charts current directions of international research, and
will also provide a stimulus for future work.
