New Texts from Ancient Cultures (Series)

A wealth of information on the Greco-Roman world is offered in papyrological and epigraphical texts, fragmentary and hard to read though they can be. The University of Michigan has long held one of the largest and finest collections of papyri and other such texts surviving from antiquity. Drawing upon this choice collection and other important sources, New Texts from Ancient Cultures publishes a selection of the best and most interesting documents, in a readily comprehensible format. Scholars in many areas will find the series a source of up-to-date texts, interpretations, and new information on the ancient world.
