Biographical / Historical
The papyri were obtained from a Chinese gentleman doing post graduate work in London. He furnished the following information:
"This collection of Egyptian papyri was purchased from Dr. Selim Hassan, Professor of Egyptology at Fouad I University at
Cairo, the author of the Excavations at Giza... According to Dr. Hassan, a large part of these fragments were unearthed at
Giza and were dated about 200 years BC. They had been in his possession since they were discovered. Because of their antiquarian
interest, they were acquired in October, 1946." The collection is organized by language. Some boxes contains fragments of
fibers that were found on the papyrus and paper fragments.
