The Tebtunis Papyri, Part 1 is a book written by Bernard Pyne Grenfell and published in 1902. The book is a collection of papyri discovered in the ancient Egyptian city of Tebtunis, which is located in the Fayum region. The papyri were found by Grenfell and his colleague, Arthur Surridge Hunt, during their excavations in the early 20th century. The Tebtunis Papyri are a valuable source of information about life in ancient Egypt, as they contain a variety of texts including letters, contracts, accounts, and literary works. The texts are written in Greek, Egyptian, and Coptic, and date from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. Part 1 of the book includes an introduction by Grenfell, as well as a detailed description of the papyri and their contents. The book also includes translations of some of the texts, as well as facsimiles of the papyri themselves. Overall, The Tebtunis Papyri, Part 1 is an important work for scholars of ancient Egypt and anyone interested in the history and culture of the region. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived in Tebtunis over two thousand years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
