The 2019 Glanville Lecture will be given by Dr Koen Donker van Heel (Leiden University). He will examine a newly acquired papyrus by the British Museum dating to the 7th century BC. This presents a great number of difficulties. First: it is written in abnormal hieratic, a dreadful shorthand. Second: there are many women in it who are clearly acting in some professional capacity. But why? And where does this papyrus come from?
