The Herculaneum Society is very pleased to invite you to an online talk delivered by Dr Amin Benaissa, Associate Professor in Papyrology and Greek Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, on ‘Mary Elizabeth Dicker: Britain’s first woman papyrologist’, whose contribution to the development of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri collection has been largely forgotten. As A.S. Hunt’s assistant from 1929 to 1933, she sorted through a large amount of Oxyrhynchus papyri and transcribed and identified a number of important pieces during that short period. The talk will take place this Saturday 5 November at 15:30 GMT.
