Languages, Objects, and the transmission of the Rituals.An Interdisciplinary Analysis on some Unsearched Ritual Practices in the Graeco-Egyptian Papyri(PGM)

In an era of significant cultural and religious changes in particular between an Egyptian local tradition and a Greek-Egyptian-Roman “international” culture, a new and dynamic preservation of rituals and knowledge is probably at the origin of the complexity of modes of expression and linguistic codes that make up the distinguishing features of the texts of the PGM. By conducting group research that is both open and experimental, we hope to introduce elements or new and interdisciplinary suggestions for the history of ideas and the beginnings of scientific thought in this report on ritual practices. Our starting point will be that extraordinary era of the Mediterranean which is Late Antiquity, an opportunity for exchanges, contacts, and conflicts between different traditions and languages.
