The Ancient Books Website (ABW) joins a long tradition of open- access
tools for papyrological research. The website provides data
complementary to those in tools like the Leuven Database of Ancient
Books (LDAB), now part of Trismegistos (TM), and the Digital Corpus of
Literary Papyri (DCLP). The data captured here are focused on two areas:
(1) reconstruction of the physical details of each literary papyrus,
and (2) analysis of the scribal features.
Foundational to the
project is that these data are culled not from editions, but from
independent analysis based on autopsy or high-resolution images. The
analysis is facilitated by a suite of dedicated software, and for known
works makes use of machine-readable texts from the TLG project.
