Main description (English)

Starting from the well known collection of bookrolls found by Pierre Jouguet in Medinet Ghoran, and especially from a comparison of the Sikonioi P.Sorb. inv. 72+2272+2273 and the Odyssey P.Sorb. inv. 2245, the paper surveys the paratextual characteristic of early Ptolemaic bookrolls, suggesting that they reflect formats and conventions already developed during the Classical age.
