Dioscore d'Aphrodité est un cas unique en papyrologie : le dossier de ce notable lettré d'un village de Moyenne-Égypte (VIe s. apr. J.-C.) comprend à la fois ses archives documentaires, sa bibliothèque et les brouillons de ses œuvres poétiques. Ce livre propose une édition critique et commentée de la partie littéraire de ce riche ensemble. Tout d'abord, des textes nouveaux ou partiellement inédits provenant de sa bibliothèque : une Iliade d'Homère, un livre de Scholies à l'Iliade et des tables de conjugaisons verbales. Dans une seconde partie, l'œuvre même de Dioscore : 51 textes autographes, presque tous en vers, traduits, annotés et replacés dans leur contexte littéraire et historique. Un chapitre conclusif tente de brosser le profil culturel de Dioscore en s'appuyant sur sa bibliothèque, sur son œuvre, mais aussi sur ses textes documentaires. La combinaison de ces trois sources permet de faire revivre conjointement l'élève, le lecteur et le créateur, autant de phases que le papyrologue ou l'historien de la littérature est habituellement obligé d'appréhender séparément. Elle met aussi au jour d'intéressantes interactions entre littérature et documents, révélatrices des options culturelles de la société antique tardive. C'est donc, plus généralement, de la culture grecque dans une province du VIe s. que traite cet ouvrage.

Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time. Written in the second century AD, for more than fifteen centuries it was the most detailed topography of Europe and Asia available and the best reference on how to gather data and draw maps. Ptolemy championed the use of astronomical observation and applied mathematics in determining geographical locations. But more importantly, he introduced the practice of writing down coordinates of latitude and longitude for every feature drawn on a world map, so that someone else possessing only the text of the Geography could reproduce Ptolemy's map at any time, in whole or in part, at any scale. Here Berggren and Jones render an exemplary translation of the Geography and provide a thorough introduction, which treats the historical and technical background of Ptolemy's work, the contents of the Geography, and the later history of the work.
