Einführung in die Papyrologie

Die Papyrologie ist eine Spezialdisziplin der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaft und gibt Einblicke in antike Zeugnisse des Alltags und über den Alltag, die sonst nicht überliefert sind. Neben dokumentarischen Quellen, wie Rechnungen, Briefen oder Verträgen, sind auch große literarische Werke auf Papyrus erhalten. Thematisch geben diese Quellen damit nicht nur Einblicke in die antike Rechts-, Wirtschafts-, Verwaltungs-, Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte, sondern auch in die Entwicklung der antiken Sprachen sowie der textkritischen Überlieferung der antiken Texte.

Dieser Lektürekurs möchte eine Einführung in das Thema Papyrologie sowohl für Studenten der Geschichtswissenschaften als auch der Klassischen Philologie, Gräzistik und Klassischen Archäologie geben. Er versteht sich damit als interdisziplinärer Grundlagenkurs der Altertumswissenschaften. In acht Sitzungen soll ein Überblick über die gängigen Sprachen, Formate und Corpora antiker Papyri (in Original und Übersetzung) sowie deren Hauptthemeninhalte gegeben werden. Der Kurs findet digital über Zoom statt. Veranstaltungssprache ist englisch.
