Herodas: Facsimile Of Papyrus CXXXV In The British Museum (1892) is a book that features a facsimile of the ancient Greek papyrus manuscript known as Papyrus CXXXV, which is housed in the British Museum. The manuscript is attributed to the Hellenistic poet Herodas, who lived in Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE. The facsimile includes the complete text of the manuscript, which consists of six short dialogues between female characters, known as mimes. The mimes are written in a lively and colloquial style, and provide a glimpse into the everyday lives of women in Hellenistic Alexandria. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, F.G. Kenyon, which provides background information on the manuscript and its discovery, as well as a discussion of its significance for the study of ancient Greek literature and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
