Document Details : Title: A Michigan Musical Papyrus Revisited Author(s): SEARS, Rebecca Ann Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 52 Date: 2015 Pages: 143-179 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.52.0.3203267 Abstract : Re-edition of the recto of P.Mich. inv. 2958 (michigan.apis.1711), a musical papyrus from Karanis, focused on the musical notation. This papyrus was first published by O.M. Pearl and R.P. Winnington-Ingram and was most recently republished in E. Pöhlman and M.L. West, Documents of Ancient Greek Music (Oxford 2001) as nos. 42 and 43. This re-edition presents a number of new readings based on autopsy of the papyrus, a commentary, and a new transcription of the semeia into modern musical notation. Most significantly, this re-edition proposes a reinterpretation of the extra line of musical notation between lines 4 and 5 as a revision of the melisma over ὦ in line 5. |
