Ancient papyrus unveils spectacular Roman-era corruption and forgery A recent study by an international team of researchers has revealed a 2,000-year-old corruption scandal, offering a rare glimpse into Roman judicial practices in the provinces of Judea and Arabia during a period of social and political upheaval. The study, published in the journal Tyche, was conducted by scholars from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the University of Vienna, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The document is a Greek-language papyrus spanning 133 lines and is the longest of its kind ever found in the Judean Desert.

So neat!

"During the reign of Emperor #Hadrian, two #Jewish outlaws stood trial for a series of crimes including the freeing of slaves without paying the required fees and inciting rebellion against the #Roman Empire. Details of the gripping case were lost for almost 2,000 years, but have now come to light after researchers translated the longest #Greek #papyrus ever found in the #Judaean Desert."

The Vanished Library - Luciano Canfora. It tells of warring librarians & catrocide: The book digs into the interesting details surrounding the Great Library of Alexandria and its rival, the Library of Pergamum. There are many juicy details here, such as the thwarted attempts to secure Aristotle’s Treatises. Neleus buried them in a cellar and offered only fakes or minor texts. The librarian book hunters who roamed the world and used dubious means to secure scrolls. The visiting Roman who killed a cat and was immediately murdered by an angry mob. Timons, disdainfully referred to the devoted copyists as a ‘nest of caged scribbblers’. The broader project was to obtain an original or copy of every piece of writing in the known world. As Umberto Eco said, ‘a library is the memory of humankind’. #Alexandria #greatlibrary #papyrus #pergamum #books
