Abstract

Of the 66 papyri that certainly preserve sections of Menander's comedies, 40 are fragments of bookrolls. Given the significant number of these items, an analysis of their bibliological aspects yields interesting data on the material characteristics of the author's transmission. The present paper will analyse the use of recto and verso in the surviving Menandrian papyri, with particular regard to the copies written on the back of documents. © 2023 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
