The UCL Lahun Papyri: Religious, Literary, Legal, Mathematical and MedicalMark Collier, Stephen Quirke, Annette Imhausen The papyri presented in this volume (the second volume in the Lahun series: cf. BAR 1083: 'Letters') range across all categories between letters and accountancy documents (to form the final BAR volume, forthcoming) and five broad groupings have been adopted for this work - 'Religious, Literary, Legal, Mathematical, and Medical'. As in the 'Letters' volume, the printed pages present updated transcriptions with transliterations for all but the smallest fragments. The entire collection is presented in digitized photographic form in the accompanying CD. |
