Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Here There Among the Papyri This small book is addressed in the first instance to that wide and ever-increasing public who are keenly interested in the study of the New Testament, and are anxious to know more of the bearing of the papyrus discoveries, of which they hear so much, on its language and literature. Every effort has, therefore, been made to avoid unnecessary technicalities, and no Greek words or phrases have been used without their English equivalents. At the same time, even though it involves some repetition of matter I have published elsewhere, I have tried to give at least an indication of the principal points in the whole field of inquiry.

Book Early Christian Books in Egypt

Download or read book Early Christian Books in Egypt written by Roger S. Bagnall and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past hundred years, much has been written about the early editions of Christian texts discovered in the region that was once Roman Egypt. Scholars have cited these papyrus manuscripts--containing the Bible and other Christian works--as evidence of Christianity's presence in that historic area during the first three centuries AD. In Early Christian Books in Egypt, distinguished papyrologist Roger Bagnall shows that a great deal of this discussion and scholarship has been misdirected, biased, and at odds with the realities of the ancient world. Providing a detailed picture of the social, economic, and intellectual climate in which these manuscripts were written and circulated, he reveals that the number of Christian books from this period is likely fewer than previously believed. Bagnall explains why papyrus manuscripts have routinely been dated too early, how the role of Christians in the history of the codex has been misrepresented, and how the place of books in ancient society has been misunderstood. The author offers a realistic reappraisal of the number of Christians in Egypt during early Christianity, and provides a thorough picture of the economics of book production during the period in order to determine the number of Christian papyri likely to have existed. Supporting a more conservative approach to dating surviving papyri, Bagnall examines the dramatic consequences of these findings for the historical understanding of the Christian church in Egypt.

Book The Oxyrhynchus Papyri  Vol  3

Download or read book The Oxyrhynchus Papyri Vol 3 written by Bernard P. Grenfell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. 3: Edited With Translations and Notes IN accordance with the chronological arrangement adopted by us in the publication of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, the present volume is devoted to second century texts, with the exception of the theo logical and some of the classical papyri. The selection of documents here published in full or described probably represents less than half the second century material discovered in 1897, but it is our intention in future volumes to deal with successive centuries up to the sixth, and then to return to the older papyri temporarily passed over; In the spring of this year excavations at Oxyrhynchus were resumed, and another large find of papyri was made, including a certain number of the late Ptolemaic period. These, together with a selection of the more important literary texts from the new find, will be published in Part IV, which we hope to issue within a year.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. 1: Edited With Translations and Notes In editing the new fragments of Greek classical literature, at once the most interesting and the most difficult part of this volume, we have had the assistance of Professor F.

Book Egyptian Tales Translated From the Papyri  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Egyptian Tales Translated From the Papyri Classic Reprint written by William Matthew Flinders Petrie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egyptian Tales Translated From the Papyri For another reason also there is a wide ground for the present volume. In no case have any illustrations been attempted, to give that basis for imagination which is all the more needed when reading of an age and a land unfamiliar to our ideas. When following a narrative, whether of real events or of fiction, many persons - perhaps most find themselves unconsciously framing in their minds the scenery and the beings of which they are reading. To give a correct picture of the character of each of the various ages to which these tales belong, has been the aim of the present illustrations. A definite period has been assigned to each tale, in accordance with the indications, or the history, involved in it; and, so far as our present knowledge goes, all the details of life in the scenes here illustrated are rendered in accord with the period of the story.

Book The Tebtunis Papyri  Vol  2  Classic Reprint

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tebtunis Papyri, Vol. 2 OF the large collection of papyri found by us in the winter of 1899 - 1900 at fimm el Baragat (the ancient Tebtunis), when we were excavating for the University of California with funds generously pro vided by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, that portion which was obtained from the mummies of crocodiles dating from the second and first cen turies was published by us in collaboration with Prof. J. G. Smyly in 1902. The cartonnage from the Ptolemaic necropolis has now been nearly all unrolled and in part deciphered, chiefly by Prof. Smyly, who is again collaborating with us in Part III. The present volume deals with the papyri found in the houses of the town during the first month of the excavations: with the exception of a few Ptolemaic documents these texts belong to the first three centuries of the Christian era. The unrolling of them was performed during the course of the excavations and in the summer of 1900, while we were occupied with other work, these papyri were studied by Dr. E. J. Goodspeed, who deciphered part of those here edited and is associated with us in their publication to him we also owe the bulk of the indices. The decipherment of the rest of the texts was done by ourselves in 1904, and the volume was put into type in the winter of 1904 - 5; but we were unable to resume work upon it until the summer of 1906, when we largely extended and altered the commentary, and added the appendices.

Download or read book The Oxyrhynchus Papyri Vol 6 written by Bernard Pyne Grenfell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. 6: Edited With Translations and Notes OF the papyri included in this volume, the two long classical texts containing the Hypszfy/e of Euripides (852) and the new commentary on Thucydides II (853) formed part of the large hnd of literary mss. Which was made on Jan. 13, 1906, in the circumstances described in the Times of May 24, 1906, and the Report of the Egypt Exploration Fzma', 1905 - 6, p. 10. The other literary papyri were chiefly discovered during the same season, but some were found in 1897 or 1902. The non-literary documents, which largely belong to the third and fourth centuries, come, with a few exceptions, from the finds of 1897. In editing the new classical texts we have for the first time been without the support of the late Professor F. Blass, to whom our previous publications have owed so much but for 852 and 853 we have been fortunate in obtaining the generous aid of Professors U. Von wilamowitz-mo'llendorff and J. B. Bury, who have very materially furthered the reconstruction of those texts, while Mr. Gilbert Murray has also contributed many most valuable suggestions and criticisms upon 852. To these three scholars in particular, and to some others whose occasional assistance is acknowledged in connexion. With the individual papyri, we here offer our sincerest thanks. Lastly, we would express our obligations to the accomplished Proof-reader of the University press, whose care, in this book as in its predecessors, has removed many small blemishes from our pages.
