Since the very beginnings of the digital humanities, Papyrology has been in the vanguard of the application of information technologies to its own scientific purposes, for both theoretical and practical reasons (the strong awareness towards the problems of human memory and the material ways of preserving it; the need to work with a multifarious and overwhelming amount of different data). After more than thirty years of development, we have now at our disposal the most advanced tools to make papyrological studies more and more effective, and even to create a new conception of "papyrology" and a new model of "edition" of the ancient documents. At this turining point, it is important to build an epistemological framework including all the different expressions of Digital Papyrology, to trace a historical sketch setting the background of the contemporary tools, and to provide a clear overview of the current theoretical and technological trends, so that all the possibilities currently available can be exploited following uniform pathways. The volume represents an innovative attempt to deal with such topics, usually relegated into very quick and general treatments within journal articles or papyrological handbooks.

Discarded, Discovered, Collected: The University of Michigan Papyrus Collection provides an accessible introduction to the University's collection of papyri and related ancient materials, the widest and deepest resource of its kind in the Western hemisphere. The collection was founded in the early part of the 20th century by University of Michigan Professor of Classics Francis W. Kelsey. His original intention was to create a set of artifacts that would be useful in teaching students more directly about the ancient world, at a time when trips to ancient sites were much harder to arrange. Jointly administered by the University of Michigan's Department of Classical Studies and its Library, the collection has garnered significant interest beyond scholarly circles and now sees several hundred visitors each year. Of particular note among the collection's holdings are sixty pages of the earliest known copy of the Epistles of St. Paul, which are often featured on tours of the collection by groups from religious institutions. Arthur Verhoogt, one of the current stewards of the University of Michigan Papyrology Collection, provides clear, insightful information in an appealing style that will attract general readers and scholars alike. Extensively illustrated with some of the collection's more spectacular pieces, this volume describes what the collection is, what kinds of ancient texts it contains, and how it has developed from Francis Kelsey's day to the present.

Hiermit wird das erste Mal eine systematische Analyse der Dorfverwaltung und der Struktur der Dorfgemeinschaft im spätantiken Ägypten (4.?8. Jahrhundert n.Chr.) vorgelegt, deren Basis mehrere Tausende neu aufgearbeitete Papyrusdokumente in verschiedenen Sprachen (Griechisch, Koptisch, teils Arabisch) bilden. Ein besonderes Forschungsproblem stellte dabei seit jeher die schwer durchschaubare Terminologie der Beamtentitel in den Dörfern dar. Ihre mikrophilologisch angelegte Untersuchung nimmt daher den größten Teil dieses Buches ein. Die anhand dessen gewonnenen Ergebnisse eröffnen dann eine übergreifende Perspektive auf die lokale Verwaltung und Gesellschaft im Übergang von der byzantinischen zur arabischen Herrschaft. Demnach wies die Verwaltungsstruktur der Dörfer ein relativ einheitliches Schema auf, wobei es gleichwohl ausgeprägte regionale Tendenzen gab. Entgegen früheren Auffassungen war das spätantike Ägypten durch starke, selbstbewusste Dorfgemeinschaften charakterisiert. Ein Vergleich der ägyptischen Evidenz mit verschiedenen Quellen aus Palästina, Syrien und Anatolien legt nahe, dass Dörfer im spätantiken östlichen Mittelmeerraum nach ähnlichen Prinzipien organisiert waren. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Philippika-Preis des Harrassowitz Verlags sowie dem Ruprecht-Karls- und dem Dr. Gerhard Ott-Preis der Universität Heidelberg ausgezeichnet.
