Christie’s Auction of an Early Christian Papyrus Document

Posted on May 31, 2012 

On June 13, Christie’s will be organizing an auction that will include the opportunity to purchase several Coptic manuscripts. The details of this auction can be found on their website (HERE, HERE, or HERE). From the information supplied by Christie’s, I was able to infer that the manuscripts on sale belonged to Lawrence Feinberg, an American collector who died in 2009. THIS WEBSITE gives the following information concerning Feinberg:

J. Gascou, Les images des papyrus et parchemins du Moyen Euphrate

P. Euphrate

            Nous croyons répondre à l'attente des romanistes et des papyrologues en mettant à leur disposition sur ce site, dans l’ordre des publications, les images en couleur des papyrus et parchemins du Moyen Euphrate (désormais connus sous le sigle P.Euphr.).
            Elles ont été réalisées en avril 2012 à l'Institut de Papyrologie de la Sorbonne par Adam Bülow-Jacobsen avec l'aimable permission du propriétaire des documents.
            Leur affichage en ligne est un prélude à la réunion de l'ensemble du dossier dans un catalogue unique.
            Avant même les premières publications, Fergus Millar avait souligné l'intérêt historique unique de ce dossier (The Roman Near East 31 BC-AD 337, [Cambridge [Masss.]- Londres 1993], p. 129-131, 155-156 et 478-481). L'attention des spécialistes ne s'est pas démentie par la suite à en juger d'après nombre d'études savantes et la répercussion rapide de nos éditions dans plusieurs synthèses d'histoire romaine et manuels destinés à l'enseignement supérieur.

AMHEIDA I:

OSTRAKA FROM TRIMITHIS

VOLUME 1

Texts from the 2004–2007 Seasons

by

Roger S. Bagnall and Giovanni R. Ruffini

with contributions by

Raffaella Cribiore and Günter Vittmann

Publisher's blurb:

This volume presents 455 inscribed pottery fragments, or ostraka, found during NYU’s excavations at Amheida in the western desert of Egypt. The majority date to the Late Roman period (3rd to 4th century AD), a time of rapid social change in Egypt and the ancient Mediterranean generally. Amheida was a small administrative center, and the full publication of these brief texts illuminates the role of writing in the daily lives of its inhabitants. The subjects covered by the Amheida ostraka include the distribution of food, the administration of wells, the commercial lives of inhabitants, their education, and other aspects of life neglected in literary sources. The authors provide a full introduction to the technical aspects of terminology and chronology, while also situating this important evidence in its historical, social and regional context.

EVENT: Training, Cheating, Winning, Praising: Athletes and Shows in Papyri from Roman Egypt

Training, Cheating, Winning, Praising: Athletes and Shows in Papyri from Roman Egypt
6.00pm - 7.15pm, followed by a drinks reception
Wednesday, 20 June 2012 
The British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH

Three Short Lectures on the ‘Olympic’ tradition in Roman and Byzantine Egypt as revealed by new and old texts from Oxyrhynchus.


In the second and third centuries AD the cities of the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire developed a mania for grand public competitions in athletics, musical performance and chariot-racing. This exuberant tradition, which was explictly based on the original Olympic games and designed to proclaim the cultural Greekness of the competing cities, is best attested to us from documents on papyrus preserved in the detritus of the ancient cities of Oxyrhynchus and Hermopolis. 


To mark the London Olympics (for related Classical events see the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies website, a volume of new texts on this theme, ranging from literary works to a contract to throw a wrestling match, is being prepared for The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, published by the Egypt Exploration Society with the support of the British Academy and the AHRC. The lectures will present the most exciting of the new texts in the context of previous discoveries among the papyri.


About the Speakers:
Chair: Dominic Rathbone, Professor of Ancient History, King’s College London


Christopher Carey, Professor of Greek at University College London, is an expert on the victory odes of Pindar: Celebrations in the sand: victory songs and other texts from Oxyrhynchus


William J. Slater, Emeritus Professor of Classics at McMaster University, Canada, is a
scholar of Pindar turned auditor of the finances of ancient festivals and competitors: Fame and especially fortune: the dark side of Olympia


Margaret Mountford, erstwhile corporate lawyer and adviser on BBC TV’s The Apprentice, has just completed a PhD in papyrology at University College London including the edition of some Byzantine circus programmes: The Oxyrhynchus papyri: because they’re worth it.
