Research

I am a Papyrologist who studies Greek papyri from Egypt from the Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine periods. These papyri give us detailed information on daily life in antiquity in all its different aspects. Although retired I still hope to continue deciphering and editing unpublished papyri from the collection of the Leiden Papyrological Institute as well as from other collections.
