To the Origins of Greek Stenography. P.Monts.Roca I

The present volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Ramón Roca-Puig, on the centenary of his birth in 1906. Upon his death in 2001, this Catalan priest and scholar bequeathed his important papyrus collection to the famous Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat, where it is now entrusted to the care of Father Pius Tragan. This collection has now been catalogued and, since many pieces deserve full scholarly editions, a new series has been created for publishing such editions. This is the first volume of this series, and we have chosen to honour the previous owner of the Papyri Montserratenses Roca with one of his favourite pieces of which he himself published several sections. Special catalogues and editions of various other Oriental texts and objects belonging to the Abbey are planned to appear in the same series.
