[Antiquitas] uusi julkaisu: P. Petra III

[Matias Buchholz]

Hyvät antiquitas-listalaiset,

en muista, että tällä listalla olisi aiemmin tiedotettu uutuuskirjoista, 
mutta olen oikeastaan sitä mieltä, että tiedot suomalaistutkijoiden 
julkaisemista uusista kirjoista sopisivat tälle listalle varsin hyvin, 
joten aloitan nyt alla olevalla tiedotteella.

Yst. terv.

NEW PUBLICATION:

The Petra Papyri III. Eds. A. Arjava, M. Buchholz, T. Gagos, with 
contributions by R.C. Caldwell, R.W. Daniel, L. Koenen, M. Lehtinen, M. 
Mikkola, M. Mustonen, T. Purola, E. Salmenkivi, M. Vesterinen, M.

Center of Oriental Research Publication 5, Amman 2007. Pp. xxii + 217 + 
b/w plates LXXXVII. ISBN 978-9957-8543-2-4.

Volume III of the Petra papyri includes 19 new documents, numbered P. 
Petra III 18-36, ranging chronologically from 539 AD to 593 AD. The 
volume’s publication precedes P. Petra II, which includes only one large 
document (P. Petra II 17) and which will follow volume III as soon as 
possible. Volume III opens with an introduction that includes 
discussions of the physical format and notarial conventions in the Petra 
papyri; the calendars used in the Petra papyri; and updated 
chronological and prosopographical tables. All the texts are documentary 
and written in Byzantine Greek. Except for four minor texts (P. Petra 
III 21, 24, 26, 27), each text includes an introduction, Greek 
transcript with critical apparatus, English translation and commentary. 
The volume is large format and cloth-bound, and includes 87 b/w plates 
and indices.
