Notte delle Ricercatrici e dei Ricercatori, September 25, 2026, Bologna

SMA / Biblioteca Universitaria, Via Zamboni 33

Windows into the Past: Greek and Latin Manuscripts in Bologna

Curated by: Gabriele Bitelli, Fabian Lothar Walter Reiter and Francesco Citti (Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering – Department of History, Cultures and Civilizations – University Library of Bologna).

How do we study an ancient papyrus? And what can it still reveal to us after thousands of years? How can new digital technologies help us read and interpret these documents?
Through the papyri held by the University Library, consisting of Greek and Latin texts originating from Egypt, visitors will discover how these documents are read, interpreted and preserved, and how they continue to tell the story of the ancient world today.

Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
