They were the writing material of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome at least since ca. 3,000 BCE to ca. 400-900 CE. Initially, papyrology was subsumed under the field of palaeography (the study of old writing) and a suggested name for the new field, Markovich explained, was papyrography. Professor Markovich further related his first meeting with Professor van Minnen when Markovich was a graduate student. Little did he then know that the two would end up as professors and colleagues at the same institution years later. Markovich recounted the time when van Minnen was head of the UC Classics Department (2010-2015) and how efficient an administrator he was, and remembered, amusingly, how van Minnen was always running, presumably to manage it all, a sentiment the current head now appreciates. Professor Markovich also discussed how in the twentieth century thanks to the discovery of papyri the field of classics developed as a science, and how instrumental van Minnen has been in contextualizing papyrology within ancient history. He also reminded us that only 100,000 papyri have been published to date whereas there are a million of them yet to be published and examined hence the title of one of van Minnen&#8217;s articles (&#8220;The Millennium of Papyrology, 2001-,&#8221; see the bibliography below). Professor Markovich also relayed congratulatory words from Jay Twomey, Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences, who was unable to attend the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matthijs Wibier, Assistant Professor of Classics, UC, and van Minnen\u2019s Dutch compatriot, chaired a paper panel with contributors Dr. Andrew Connor whose talk was entitled \u201cThe burning door and the dung in the sanctuary: Anti-temple sentiment in the daily life of Roman Egypt,\u201d recounting a daily life story on a papyrus in Berlin about priests discovering that the doors to their neighborhood Busiris temple were on fire, and Dr. Cisca Hoogendijk whose talk was entitled \u201cWhat was written on the other side of the Concordance to the <em>Sortes Astrampsychi<\/em>\u201d (an oracular fortune-telling guide), discussing various documents on the other side of the guide such as property registers and dowry agreements. Dr. Hoogendijk has collaborated with van Minnen since their time together at the University of Leiden where van Minnen was a research associate and taught courses on reading Greek documentary papyri.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon completing his dissertation, van Minnen held post-doctoral research positions at Leuven University and&nbsp;at the University of Michigan where he worked on texts to be included in the &#8220;Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri&#8221; (https:\/\/library.duke.edu\/papyrus\/texts\/DDBDP-old.html), an essential research tool for papyrologists. Next, he went to Duke University where he cataloged their papyrus collection. He also held a post-doctoral research position at the University of Groningen. Peter van Minnen came to the University of Cincinnati in 2002. Since then he was also an Elizabeth A. Whitehead Distinguished Scholar at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, 2008-2009, and hosted two American Society of Papyrology Summer Institutes, most recently in 2022. From 2006 to 2023 he was also Editor-in-Chief of the <em>Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select publications of Peter van Minnen\u2019s extensive publishing history were featured in an exhibition in the Classics Library, as were personal photos and objects of van Minnen with the family cat, as a doll, etc. Also included were a copy of <em>Asterix apud Gothos<\/em> (&#8220;Asterix among the Goths&#8221;) in Latin, and <em>Het Mysterie van de Grote Piramide<\/em> (&#8220;The Mystery of the Great Pyramid&#8221;) in <em>De Aventuren van Blake en Mortimer<\/em> (&#8220;The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer&#8221;) in Dutch, a comic series by Edgar P. Jacobs. Both are Belgian comic books from van Minnen\u2019s youth. Also included in the exhibition was a papyrus plant on loan from John Wallrodt, Senior Research Associate, UC Classics. Gifts included a mug with the image of the famous Edwin Smith (medical) Papyrus, a facsimile on display (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of van Minnen&#8217;s very extensive bibliography include much cited works such as: &#8220;<strong>Boorish and Bookish? Literature in Egyptian Villages in Fayum in the Graeco-Roman Period<\/strong>&#8221; (<em>The Journal of Juristic Papyrology<\/em>, vol. 28, 1998, pp. 99-184); &#8220;<strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Century of Papyrology (1892-1992)<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;(<em>The Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists<\/em>, vol. 30, no. 1\/2, 1993, pp. 5\u201318) looking back at Theodor Mommsen&#8217;s prophetic utterance that &#8220;the nineteenth century had been the century of epigraphy, but that the twentieth century would be the century of papyrology.&#8221; In 1891 literary papyri began to be published which changed the previous rather lukewarm interest of philologists; for example, the Aristotelian Constitution of Athens on a papyrus in the British Library, a facsimile of which the Library owns, and the poems of Bacchylides on a papyrus also in the British Library, a facsimile of which can also be found in our Library. Van Minnen laments the lack of interest in documentary texts in spite of Mommsen&#8217;s belief that <em>Altertumswissenschaft<\/em> (the study of the ancient world as a whole) would win the day and not classicism focusing on the &#8220;hay days&#8221; of Greece and Rome and often minute specialized &#8220;esoteric&#8221; aspects; &#8220;<strong>The Millennium of Papyrology (2001)?<\/strong>&#8221; (<em>Akten des 23. Internationalen Papyrologenkongresses: Wien, 22.-28. Juli 2001<\/em>, Wien: Verlag der \u00d6sterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2007, pp. 703-714); \u201c<strong>The Origin and Future of Papyrology: From Mommsen and Wilamowitz to the Present, from Altertumswissenschaft to Cultural Studies<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;(<em>Proceedings of the 20th international congress of papyrologists: Copenhagen, 23-29 August, 1992.<\/em>&nbsp;Ed.

Andorlini, Isabella. Firenze: Istituto Papirologico G.&nbsp;Vitelli, 2001, pp. 1265-1280); \u201c<strong>From Posidippus to Palladas: What Have Literary Papyri Done for Us?<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;(<em>The Journal of Juristic Papyrology<\/em>, vol. 43, 2013, pp. 243-261). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also included in the exhibition are works on Cleopatra whose signature van Minnen discovered on a royal decree on a mummy cartonnage from Abusir el-Melek dating to February 33 BCE shortly before the confrontation with Octavian, discussing among other things expenses for the military. The royal ordinance, as identified by van Minnen, contains one word in Greek, \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ad\u03c3\u03b8\u03c9\u03b9 (&#8220;make it happen&#8221;) (\u201c<strong>An Official Act of Cleopatra: (with a subscription in her own hand)<\/strong>\u201d)&nbsp;(<em>Ancient Society<\/em>, vol. 30, 2000, pp. 29-34); and \u201c<strong>Further Thoughts on the Cleopatra Papyrus<\/strong>\u201d&nbsp;(<em>Archiv f\u00fcr Papyrusforschung und Verwandte Gebiete<\/em>, vol. 47, no. 1, 2001, pp. 74-80).  Needless to say, the discovery was debated but most believe that the signature is indeed that of the last Egyptian pharaoh in her own hand.

interesting and quirky artifacts for library exhibitions, helping to select materials for the &#8220;John Miller Burnam Palaeography Library&#8221; (room 414A) and the recent addition &#8220;Epigraphy and Papyrology Reading Room&#8221; (room 416), composing exhaustive bibliographies\/library checklists for titles in papyrology, epigraphy, and numismatics, and much more, earning him the unofficial title &#8220;honorary librarian.&#8221; As a small token of appreciation she gave him a mug featuring a section of the famous Edwin Smith Papyrus (the section was represented in a facsimile in one of the displays) and lapel pins of a library index card and a library stamp.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\"

Library&#8217;s bibliographer, Mike Braunlin, lent two amazing Coptic scrolls on parchment from Ethiopia to the Library. This is one of van Minnen&#8217;s interests as the first editor of the earliest dated Coptic martyrdom. Scrolls like these from Ethiopia are generally magical, healing and protective, and\/or religious in nature. The figure on the older \u201ctalisman scroll\u201d within an eight-pointed star is usually referred to as a Cherub.
