Project Title

Edition of Greek Papyri from Byzantine Egypt

Project Description

I work on the edition of unpublished Greek papyri from Byzantine Egypt to gain a better understanding of everyday life at that time, based on letters, contracts, and accounts held in the National Library of Austria. These documents give us access to new elements and provide new insights into society (administration, economy, social).
