The author takes a thematic approach, discussing the various areas of daily life into which papyri offer unique insights. From the production of food, to “works and days of Gods and Goblins” and “rendering unto Caesar,” Naphtali Lewis uses quotations from the sources combined with an encyclopedic knowledge of the cultural context to bring a seemingly obscure class of evidence to life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
