How to use BIBLIOGRAPHY (BIBLIO)

This bibliography forms part of the Arabic Papyrology Database Project. The titles are displayed according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Additionally you will find there all the abbreviations (sigles) of the documents as used in the APD in square brackets (e.g. [P.SternAyyubidDecrees]). A green "In APD" after an edition tells you that it has been completely implemented into the APD (full text!). The initials after the "In APD" give credit to the ones who have implemented the text (the first initials for the person entering the text, the second for the person controlling).

The persons behind the initials are: AD: Adeliia Davletova; AK: Andreas Kaplony; AKL: Angélique Kleiner; DP: Daniel Potthast; EG: Eva Mira Youssef-Grob; EGA: Eugenio Garosi; LR: Lucian Reinfandt; LS: Leonora Sonego; MH: Michail Hradek; NU: Nadine Urbiczek; RDP: Rocío Daga Portillo; SM: Sebastian Metz; TG: Theresa Grabmaier; UB: Ursula Hammed (Bsees).

For an overview of the editions entered in the APD, visit our Editions page.

For an annual update on new publications in Arabic papyrology, please check the Bibliographie raisonnée zur arabischen Papyrologie.
