Description

This comprehensive volume bridges classical and Egyptological scholarship by examining legal papyri from Alexander to the Arab Conquest, offering translated sources with detailed introductions and scholarly commentary. The book addresses a significant gap in legal history research, as papyrological documents have been largely overlooked despite their abundance since the nineteenth century. By synthesising classical Greek and Roman legal traditions with ancient Egyptian legal practice, the work provides legal historians and Egyptologists with essential primary material and analytical frameworks. The selection of papyrological sources illuminates how law functioned in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, revealing the practical application of legal principles across cultural boundaries and centuries of dynastic change. Each translated document includes contextual commentary explaining its significance within the broader legal landscape of the period.

Key Features

Translated papyrological sources spanning from Alexander's conquest through the Arab Conquest period, providing primary evidence for Egyptian legal practice.

Detailed introductions and scholarly commentary accompany each legal document, contextualising the papyri within their historical and legal frameworks.

Blends classical juristic traditions with Egyptological scholarship, creating a coherent approach that bridges two usually separate scholarly communities.

Addresses the historical gap where legal papyri have received insufficient attention despite their publication since the nineteenth century.

Reveals the intersection of Greek, Roman and Egyptian legal systems during the Hellenistic and Roman periods in Egypt.

Essential reference work for legal historians, classicists and ancient historians studying law, governance and administration in antiquity.
