This volume is dedicated to the memory of Joseph Mélèze-Modrzejewski (1930–2017). His pioneering work on Jewish papyri together with his monograph on The Jews of Egypt from Rameses II to Emperor Hadrian (1995; translated from the French Les Juifs d’Égypte, de Ramsès II à Hadrien (1991)) created the foundations for all subsequent work in this field
