Bankes papyrus of the Iliad now online

Post by Roger Pearse »

Links and my notes here. The interest of this item is that it is an actual 2nd century roll, or at least the last 16 columns of it, now unrolled and photographed.

The majority of early Christian literature was undoubtedly circulated on the same kind of medium, and probably looked very similar.
