	Papyrus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Papyrus is an early form of paper made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that grows to 5 meters (15 ft) in height and was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt.
		Papyrus is first known to have been used in Ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also widely used throughout the Mediterranean region, as well as inland parts of Europe and south-west Asia.
		Papyrus was used as late as the 1100s in the Byzantine Empire, but there are no known surviving examples.

		Papyrus was cultivated and manufactured for writing material by the Arabs in Egypt down to the time when the growing industry of paper in the 8th and 9th centuries rendered it no longer a necessity (see PAPER).
		Varros statement, repeated by Pliny, that papyrus was first made in Alexanders time, should probably be taken to mean that its manufacture, which till then had been a government m,onopoly, was relieved from all restrictions.
		At a later period, however, a papyrus was cultivated in Sicily, which has been identified by Parlatore with the Syrian variety (Cyperus syriac-us), far exceeding in height the Egyptian plant, and having a more drooping head.

		The Papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus is a kind of sedge and belongs to a group of plants that are known as umbrella plants.
		The papyrus sheet is then squeezed with a roller to remove water and make it as thin and flat as possible, before putting it under steady pressure and leaving it to dry out thoroughly.
		Papyrus is still made in modern Egypt and it is often painted with reproductions of ancient Egyptian documents for sale to tourists.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.09.19
		This editio minor produced by Colin Austin and Guido Bastianini (hereafter, A-B) is a welcome complement to the editio princeps of the newly discovered Milan papyrus roll of epigrams published in 2001.
		Before this new papyrus find the third-century BCE epigrammatist, Posidippus of Pella, was known only from a handful of epigrams included in anthologies or cited in ancient sources and a few others preserved on papyrus and wax tablet.
		As study of the Milan roll progresses, it is becoming clear that the epigrams in each section have a complex interrelationship with the section title: for example, Oionoskôpika is the title that precedes nos.

	Medieval and Renaissance Book Production: Manuscript Books
		Papyrus sheets were made from thin lengths cut from the stalk of the plant, traditionally grown in Egypt, which were laid overlapping side by side in one direction and then in a similar fashion perpendicular to the first layer.
		Its major drawback was that it was very difficult to write on the side on which the strips ran perpendicular to the direction of writing as the natural ridges of the plant disrupted the movement of the pen.
		Because of the nature of the papyrus surface and of the roll itself, the text generally could only be written on one side, and the reader was forced to unroll one side and roll up the other as he read.

	Rare Greek Scroll Found With Egyptian Mummy
		The Posidippus papyrus is unusual for its length and the well-preserved state of the remaining text.
		Although papyrus scrolls from Egypt are the major source of new texts of ancient Greek literature, one of such a high quality is rare, Gutzwiller noted.
		Two of the poems on the papyrus were already known to scholars and had long been attributed to Posidippus.

		Already one year after the publication of the Milan Papyrus the result of a first conference on Posidippus (henceforth: P.) was published, Un poeta ritrovato (Milan 2002), and also of a second one, Il papiro di Posidippo un anno dopo (Firenze 2002).
		But on the Milan roll one finds, besides many four-liners, 38 epigrams of 6 lines, 11 of 8 lines, 2 of 10 lines and even 3 of 14 lines; of the three other poems found on papyri, AB 118 and AB 115 are 10-liners as well.
		Kathryn Gutzwiller states as her opinion right from the start that in the case of the Milan papyrus we have to do with a carefully designed poetry book: "the sections are ordered to create a certain poetic experience and themes take precedence over formal categories" (p.

		The codices are all written in the Coptic language and in the dialect that is prevalent in that area known as "Sahidic".
		According to its style of handwriting the papyrus is dated in the first half of the second century A.D., probably about 125 A.D. (that's only few decades after the death of St. John, the evangelist and disciple).

		Made out of strips of pith taken from the stem of the Egyptian water-plant of the same name, papyrus was very fragile, became brittle in air, crumbled with use, could not resist the disintegrating force of moisture and was quite impracticable for book-form.
		All papyrus manuscripts of every sort are lost to us save such as were buried in exceedingly dry soil, like that of Upper and Middle Egypt.
		The earliest Hebrew manuscript is the Nash papyrus.

	Strabo: Papyri
		A 'papyrus' is the name given to a fragment or, in some cases, several fragments, of a papyrus roll.
		It is often said that the papyrus roll was the 'book' of antiquity, but a work of any length, like Strabo's Geography, would have needed several papyrus rolls to contain it.
		Since a papyrus is generally only a fragment of a roll, the text it contains is only a fragment of the text contained in the whole roll.

		With the work's tiny script, slips of the pen, and low-grade papyrus, contemporary readers would have considered it "rather utilitarian, far from a showpiece designed to impress elite friends with the quality of the book as object," according to William A. Johnson, an assistant professor of classics at the University of Cincinnati.
		At the same time, he notes that the papyrus lacks the sorts of marks familiar from scrolls used in the classroom, reading circles, or scholars' studies.
		The following are from Posidippi Pellaei quae supersunt omnia (LED, Milan, 2002), reconstructed from a papyrus found in 1992 and edited by C. Austin and G. Bastianini, and translated by Colin Austin.

		During the second century B.C., a mummy-maker took a scroll of poetry and used it as stuffing for a corpse.
		The roll of papyrus remained hidden inside the mummy's chest cavity until its rediscovery in the early 1990s.
		Prior to the scroll's discovery, scholars knew of only two of the brief poems, or epigrams, on the papyrus, and both were attributed to Posidippus, who was known prior to the new scroll as the author of more than 20 other epigrams.

		Thus the establishment of the Waldensian college in Milan, is a natural extension of this orientation.

		It is situated in what at that time was nearly the centre of the city of Milan, near the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

		The recently published Milan papyrus opens with a striking sequence of epigrams devoted to stones.
		An epigram from the papyrus itself and a poem by Phoenix of Colophon critique these themes from an ideological perspective.
		The new papyrus thus allows us to see in formerly isolated passages an ongoing engagement with the innovative subject-matter of a third-century epigram collection.
