This Classics Faculty Research Project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust until August 2009. The aim of the project is to correlate the reception of Greek literature in the period 300 BC-AD 800 with surviving ancient manuscripts and other fragmentary evidence and to develop new tools, techniques and parameters for flexible cataloguing, classifying, assembling and interpreting different types of primary evidence preserved in fragmentary form, in particular ancient manuscripts in the Sackler and Bodleian libraries. The results of the research are published in The Oxyrhynchus Papyri and other publications and in digital form on this website.

A series of conferences will be organized on various aspects of working with fragmentary material. The proceedings will be published in the form of a history of Greek and Latin literature from the perspective of the fragment.
