Outline

This session introduces the Papyri.info platform for publishing, editing and searching ancient Greek papyrological texts online, and in particular the editorial interface (“Papyrological Editor”). The concept of “apparatus criticus” in papyrology refers to the record of readings and interpretations of a text by previous editors, traditionally listed below the text, and in digital form encoded as a history of readings in the text itself. In this session, we show examples of editorial revision of this kind, and give students the opportunity to enter improved readings in the texts of Papyri.info using entries from the Berichtigungsliste der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden aus Ägypten (BL) that update the first published editions. By creating a free account on the Papyrological Editor and learning a simple syntax known as “Leiden+”, you can add attributed and published readings to a text, and submit them for approval by the Papyri.info editorial board.
