Ravenna papyri
The Ravenna papyri, sometimes Italian papyri, are the surviving
Syracuse
.
Latin papyri from western Europe are rare, and early
Late Antiquity and in the Exarchate of Ravenna. They also illustrate the evolution of Late Latin and late Roman cursive
.
The documents include wills, donations to churches and monasteries, heritable leases of church lands, and sales of church lands. Sixty or so texts come from between 445 and the mid-7th century, with the latest of this early group being variously dated to 642/3 or 665/6. A late group of texts from the 9th and 10th centuries also exists, but is substantially less well studied.
