This is a Festschrift offered by friends and colleagues to papyrologist and ancient historian Peter van Minnen. The volume contains the edition or re-edition of 52 papyri and ostraca, dating from between the third century BCE and the eighth century CE. Their subjects vary from Demosthenes to the delivery of camels in early Islamic Egypt, and their provenances stretch from the Eastern to the Western Desert, and from the Egyptian Nile valley to Qasr Ibrim in northern Nubia. All texts are published with transcription, translation, commentary and colour photographs. In addition, there are five studies, reflecting the honorandâs wide-ranging interests.

[...], This volume combines meticulous text editions with insightful studies, reflectingthe âunending varietyâ inherent in papyrology and the diverse interests of its contributors. Asusual, by presenting these contributions, the collection not only advances scholarly knowledgebut also invites further investigation into the multifarious world of Graeco-Roman and lateEgypt. As a tribute, it aptly captures van Minnenâs example of academic excellence and hisenduring impact on the field.
