The week 19-23 June 2023 we have had the pleasure of receiving James Cowey, from the University of Heidelberg, who has given a workshop on the codification of Greek texts at the Complutense University. Ten students from the Uniersidad Complutense, and those in Zaragoza, Malaga and Extremadura worked hard to learn and contribute to the digitization of the Greek magical papyri.
The result of this work is an important contribution to digital access to papyrological texts. Until now, magical texts had not been systematically incorporated to papyri.info, so this is an important extension of the corpus.
The papyri.info corpus started decades ago only with Greek documentary papyri texts (contracts, letters, etc.) and was gradually extended to texts of other types (e.g. literary and paraliterary), and other languages (such as Latin and Coptic).
We are planning an extended collaboration with the students who participated. More information to follow!
