    The Language(s) of the Papyrus Archives

    10:00 amKoninklijke Academie voor Nederlandse Taal- & Letterkunde (KANTL)

    The conference “The Language(s) of the Papyrus Archives” will be held at the conference center KANTL (Koningstraat, Ghent) on 18 September 2015.
    The conference focuses on the linguistic approach of (documentary) papyri, and on papyri preserved in papyrological archives in particular.
    It has a multilingual scope with contributions about Greek, Demotic and Latin.
    It not only presents scientific results of scholars working within the field of the linguistic study of papyri, but it also aims to discuss the potential of this relatively new subdiscipline.
