Il papiro di Vicenza (P.Vic.)
Un nuovo papiro latino del VI secolo
Language
ItalianAbstract
Included in this volume is the edition of an unknown Latin papyrus that was rediscovered around twenty years ago in the collections of the Museo Civico of the Palazzo Chiericati of Vicenza. Dating to the sixth century AD and in all likelihood coming from Sicily, the fragment preserves part of a larger text that was organized in the form of a list reporting various kinds of documentary material. Given the presence of terms and phenomena hitherto not attested in the late antique West in any direct tradition, it constitutes a written testimony of extraordinary importance. The edition is accompanied by comments and studies of a palaeographical and textual nature that aim at clarifying the date, provenance, and nature of the papyrus as well proposing an interpretation of it as a historical source.
