| Learning objectives | This block seminar has as its aim the development of advanced paleographical competence in the reading of Greek papyrus documents on the part of those taking part in it. It will require the reading (from photographs) of a considerable number of texts of various genres and in diverse handwritings spread over a period of about 400 years (the first four centuries of the common era). |
| Bibliography | There is no other course bibliography as the reading is entirely of original texts as listed. |
| Comments | Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Studierende, die Grundlagenwissen und fortgeschrittene Kenntnisse in der Papyrologie und Paläografie erwerben wollen.. |
