November 26th, 244 BCE—#OTD #OnThisDay Philonikos writes to Eukles informing him about a matter in which a swineherd has accused someone of stealing and sacrificing one of his pigs for the festival of Demeter

I added a few pages to #Griffe's docs: alternative projects, downstream projects, and built-in/official/third-party extensions.

Very cool projects mentioned in there! #Docspec, #pdoc, #papyri, #quartodoc, etc. And I discovered a few Griffe extensions in the process, it's awesome

Wie liest man fragile antike #Papyri, die beschädigt würden, wenn man sie aufblätterte?

Im @Tagesspiegel U. Badelt wie die aktuelle #Elephantine Ausstellung der Staatlichen Museen Berlin neue Methoden präsentiert, mit dieser Herausforderung umzugehen:

PapPal facilitates the study of ancient #writing by collecting images of dated #papyri. Its aim is to illustrate the development and diversity of ancient #scripts, and to assist in dating undated texts.

The way papyrologists reconstruct ancient texts based on tiny scraps of papyrus seems like sorcery.

And really, it is sorcery. But it also makes sense. Here's a look at an example from the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women.

Prompted by an email from @ctschroeder, I asked @hcayless about the disposition of all the digitized texts and descriptive data for literary papyri that were created under the auspices of the NEH-funded "Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri": https://isaw.nyu.edu/news/dclp-201712

I thought some here might be interested to know that all of that data can be found via search in papyri.info, or by browsing the DCLP collection: https://papyri.info/browse/dclp/ . ... 1/2
