Project description
Greek documentary papyri from Egypt provide an important source for the study of language change in post-Classical Greek. These papyri contain a special type of information which has not been studied before: corrections made by ancient scribes. This project aims to study these scribal ‘errors’ and their corrections. What were the norms that these writers were trying to follow?
