Reconstructing Ancient Texts
The Toronto Conference on Editorial Problems
November 2-3, 2001
University College, University of Toronto

The thirty-seventh annual Conference on Editorial Problems addresses the transmission and editing of texts from the Ancient Near East and Greco-Roman antiquity that are preserved in fragmentary form.  In piecing together texts from archeologically recovered sources such as papyri and cuneiform tablets, and even from medieval copies, editors confront stimulating problems arising from the material nature of the manuscripts and the vagaries of their discovery and preservation.

All sessions will be held in Room 179, University College, King's College Circle, University of Toronto

Andrew George, London: ìEditing Gilgameshî
John Tait, London: ìDemotic Egyptian Fragmentsî
