- Title
Il P.Artemid. e i sacchi di papiro bianco di J. de M. Johnson.
- Authors

- Abstract
Among the many reasons why the Artemidorus Papyrus cannot be a modern forgery, one of the most powerful is the problem of acquiring the right material. A forger would have to have found a blank papyrus roll of finest quality, about 300 ×× 32,5 cm, produced at the beginning of the first century AD, and he would have to have known the date of its production to be able to choose a handwriting matching the paleography of the time. There is no material which meets these requirements, not even the famous blanks of papyrus excavated in the late mounds of Antinoupolis with which «« sacks might have been filled»».
