Product Description

▼▲

Disputing much of recent scholarship, Bagnall relates why he thinks the papyri are routinely given too early a date; how the role of Christians in the history of the codex has been misrepresented; why estimates of believers in Egypt are too high; how the actual role of books in ancient society has been misunderstood. 136 pages, hardcover. Princeton University.
