Medieval History
Fragments of ancient, rare manuscripts of Greek classical poetry, Greek philosophy and Judeo-Christian Scriptures are being retrieved from papier-mâché-like mummy wrappings on loan to Baylor University ? all part of an international project that will give undergraduate humanities students rare hands-on research.
The project, called the Green Scholars Initiative, eventually will include more than 100 universities, with Baylor University as the primary academic research partner. Professor-mentors will guide students through research and publication of articles about rare and unpublished documents, among them an ancient Egyptian dowry contract on loan to Kent State University and an ancient papyrus of Greek statesman Demosthenes? famed ?On the Crown? Speech, said Dr. Jerry Pattengale, initiative director and a Distinguished Senior Fellow with Baylor?s Institute for Studies of Religion.
