CoE in Ancient Greek Written Sources

The Centre of Excellence in the Ancient Greek Written Sources consists of five research projects that are concerned with ancient Greek writings that have received only little attention in earlier research. The projects will be aimed at saving, conserving and publishing sources that in earlier studies have been considered particularly challenging for example on account of the way they have been preserved; examples include mummy cartonnages and carbonised papyri. The CoE's five research projects are: 1) Papyri research; 2) Excavations at the Monastery of St. Aaron; 3) Library of the Greek-Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria; 4) Stone-inscribed Greek poetry; and 5) Substandard Greek and Latin. The CoE is presently a Centre of Excellence in Research nominated by the Academy of Finland for the 2000-2005 period.
