“Papyri” as a book category covers editions, translations, facsimiles, and studies of ancient texts written on papyrus, primarily from Egypt and the wider Mediterranean, spanning roughly from the Pharaonic era to late antiquity. It includes both literary and documentary material—such as letters, contracts, petitions, receipts, legal codes, religious and philosophical works, medical and mathematical treatises, and magical texts—preserved in rolls and early codices. Works in this category may present primary-source fragments or complete corpora, along with scholarship in papyrology, paleography, linguistics, and conservation. Readers will find resources that illuminate everyday life, law, economy, religion, and textual transmission in antiquity, often in Greek, Egyptian (Hieratic, Demotic, Coptic), Latin, and related languages.
