This volume is a Festschrift in honour of Francisca Hoogendijk, containing contributions by forty friends, colleagues and former students. It includes fifty-six editions and re-editions of (Abnormal) Hieratic, Demotic, Greek, Latin and Coptic texts, most of them from Ancient Egypt. The texts are as diverse as the jubilee’s own range of interests and her extensive papyrological network, including both literary and documentary texts, written on papyri and potsherds, dating from the twelfth century BCE to the eighth century CE. All texts are published with transcriptions, translations, commentary and photographs.
Joanne Stolk, Ph.D. (2015), University of Oslo, is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the universities of Oslo and Ghent. She has published on the Greek language of the papyri and works on papyrus editions from collections in Oslo, Ghent and Leiden.
Guus van Loon, MA (2015) is currently Ph.D. student at the University of Vienna, where he works on the pagus division in Early Byzantine Egypt. He has published several articles and short communications on papyrology and Graeco-Roman Egypt.
