Résumé
Papyrology, which burgeoned in the nineteenth century after the discovery of thousands of papyri in Egypt, consists in the study of Greek and Latin texts written on a transportable medium (papyrus, clay potsherds, wooden tablets or parchment). While inscriptions and literary sources can render a normative, idealized and sometimes deformed image of individuals, papyri - no matter how fragmented they may be - take us into their daily lives, thus making possible the archaeology of cultural practices.
Attempting to decipher "these shreds, guardians of the human memory" - to paraphrase Leonardo de Vinci - is the challenge of the papyrologist, who ceaselessly renews our knowledge of the past.
