Scholarly Publishing Office, University of Michigan Library, 2010. — 832 p.The 25th International Congress of Papyrology took place at the University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor from July 29 to August 4, 2007. This was the second time that the Congress convened in Ann
Arbor (following the 12th Congress in 1968) and the third in North America (the 16th Congress in 1980
met in New York). The history of papyrological research at the University of Michigan is long and rich.
Founded by the visionary Francis W. Kelsey, the U of M papyrus collection has been the home of many
great resident scholars: Arthur Boak, Campbell Bonner, Henry Sanders, John Winter, Orsamus Pearl,
Roger Pack, William Worrel, Elinor Husselman, Herbert and Louise Youtie, and Ludwig Koenen. The
collection has been the training ground for many other scholars: Peter Parsons, Gerald Browne, John
Shelton, Ann Ellis Hanson, Tim Renner, Bill Brashear, Bob Daniel, Vincent MacCarren, Maryline Parca,
and David Martinez, just to mention a few. It also became the second home for Piet Sijpesteijn.
Of the approximately 150 papers delivered during the Congress, 80 are included in this publication.
These Proceedings have been fully refereed, since each contribution was read both by the editor and two
outside anonymous reviewers. To ensure quality and to avoid lapses in content and typography each
contributor received at least two sets of proofs.
