Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce that the new website of the Harvard papyri is now up and running. The address is:
http://hcl.harvard.edu/libraries/houghton/collections/papyrus/index.html All the papyri possessed by Harvard have been re-checked, re-framed and inserted in the Hollis Catalog (= the Harvard University Libraries online catalog). The complete list of the papyri, together with a bibliography with the major publications on each of them, can be retrieved by clicking on the link "Papyri Collection" at the bottom of the web page. Digital images for each manuscript are being prepared. At the moment you can find (and download) digital images of 24 papyri (both literary and documentary texts), but others are coming soon. If you have any particular papyrus you are interested in, I will be happy to add it to the next group to be digitized. Best wishes, Francesca Schironi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Francesca Schironi Department of the Classics 217 Boylston Hall Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 Phone: (617) 495 1926 Fax: (617) 496 6720
