Description:Excerpt from The Amherst Papyri, Vol. 1: Being an Account of the Greek Papyri in the Collection of the Right Hon. Lord Amherst of Hackney, F. S. An; At Didlington Hall, Norfolk The Greek Papyri preserved at Didlington Hall form probably the most important private collection of this kind which has yet been made. Though small in comparison with the vast numbers of papyri which have been acquired by many of the chief museums in Europe, Lord Amherst's collection possesses the rare distinction of being thoroughly representative of the different classes and periods of Greek writing in Egypt, since it contains a number of important theological and classical fragments besides many well-preserved documents of the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine times. With the exception of those described on page 66 of Mr. P. E. Newberry's publication of Lord Amherst's Egyptian papyri, the Greek papyri have been bought for Lord Amherst by us at various places in Egypt during the last three years. The present volume is limited to the theological texts, of which the two most important, the Ascension of Isaiah and the Christian hymn, were only obtained in 1899. The classical fragments and the non-literary documents will form the subject of a second and much larger volume, which we hope, if the pressure of other engagements permits, to publish next year. We have to thank the Rev. Prof. R. H. Charles and Mr. C. H. Turner for much help in connexion with the Ascension, and the Rev. F. E. Brightman for some valuable suggestions on the Christian hymn and liturgical fragments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
