The problems that concern the papyri are less known., although awareness of these problems is necessary for a good understanding and use of papyrological documents in the various fields. This course will introduce students to the methods of papyrology. How are texts edited? What are the possible mistakes that can be made during this process? How can you find whether or not these mistakes have been corrected? These questions will be addressed by bringing students into contact with the actual editing process with the use of original texts from the Michigan Papyrus collection.
