[...], This volume combines meticulous text editions with insightful studies, reflectingthe “unending variety” inherent in papyrology and the diverse interests of its contributors. Asusual, by presenting these contributions, the collection not only advances scholarly knowledgebut also invites further investigation into the multifarious world of Graeco-Roman and lateEgypt. As a tribute, it aptly captures van Minnen’s example of academic excellence and hisenduring impact on the field. - Nicola Reggiani, University of Parma
