Russian collections of Greek papyri
and history of their publication: an overview
(with the catalogue of Greek papyri
held at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow) E. Yu. Chepel
Research fellow, CES RAS euchepel@gmail.com
The article provides an overview of the history of the Russian collections of Greek papyri and related academic work of G. F. Zereteli and other Russian scholars, including their efforts to publish papyri. The history of the study of Russian collections of Greek papyri during the 20th century is complemented with the information concerning the present state of the collections on which G. F. Zereteli and his colleagues worked, as well as with a catalogue of Greek papyri that are held in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, which is compiled using the open public data of the State catalogue of the museum collections of the Russian Federation.
Keywords: papyrology, Greek papyrology, G. F. Zereteli, history of Russian papyrus collections, history of papyrology, Graeco-Roman Egypt.
The first Greek papyri came to Russia in 1857 as part of K. von Tischendorf's collection of Greek manuscripts that was purchased by the Imperial Public Library in Saint Petersburg 1. This is a small collection of 15 papyrus fragments cut in rectangular pieces. All of them come from a discovery that was made by locals in Saqqara near Memphis and turned up on the Cairo market in 1853. The other fragments from that 'hoard' were distributed between Berlin (57 fragments) and Leipzig (35 fragments) 2. The texts presumably belonged to an archive of a Memphite official and are dated to the 3rd century AD (Trismegistos archive 403). The fac-

similia of these 15 papyri were published in the catalogue of the Imperial Public Library in 1864 and for several decades did not attract any interest among Russian scholars 3. In 1887, a Russian philologist and palaeographer V. K. Ernstedt studied the collection paying major attention to papyri 7 and 13. The latter text was published by him in 1901 4. Other papyri from this collection were published in Papyri russischer und georgischer Sammlungen (P. Ross. Georg.) which came out in Tiflis in 1925-1935 5.
Other Russian collections of Greek papyri were formed in the last decades of the 19th century and in the first decade of the 20th century. The two major collections that are now kept at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow and at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg were in fact small parts of large collections of Egyptian antiquities. The former collection had been gathered by V. S. Golenischev and was sold by him to Moscow in 1908-1912, with the mediation of the Egyptologist B. A. Turaev. The purchase of Greek papyri for this collection was rather accidental, since no specialist in Greek papyrology took part in the process of selecting material at Egyptian markets. The Hermitage collection was a result of V. G. Bock's two trips to Egypt that were sponsored by the Museum in 1888-1889 and 1897-1899. He gathered mainly Coptic objects, which explains a very modest number of Greek papyri in his collection. Hence, this collection was also 'accidental' in its Greek part. There existed also smaller private collections of A. I. Papadopoulos-Kerameus and N. P. Likhachev in Saint Petersburg 6.
During the first quarter of the 20th century, a group of young scholars interested in studying and publishing Greek papyri emerged in Russia. The most prominent among them were G. F. Zereteli and M. I. Rostovzeff. The former was a student of V. K. Ernstedt and studied palaeography and Greek literary papyri under his guidance. In 1900, he already published two papyri from V. S. Golenischev's collection 7 and was planning to continue publishing other Greek texts belonging to it. In 1899-1902, he went on a study trip to Europe where he edited papyri together with leading specialists in the field of Greek papyrology of that time — U. Wilcken in Berlin and C. Wessely in Vienna, as well as worked on some Greek papyri and manuscripts in Oxford, London, Paris, Florence, and Naples 8. M. I. Rostovzeff was interested mainly in Greek papyri as sources for the history of the Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. In 1906-1907, he undertook a trip to Egypt where he acquired some papyri for his friend and colleague G. F. Zereteli 9. Now held in Tbilisi at the Georgian National Centre of Manuscripts, G. F. Zereteli's private collection consists of these papyri, as well as of other texts brought for

5 G. F. Zereteli's plan was to publish all the papyri from this collection in his corpus but he managed to include only five: P. Ross. Georg. I. 22, III. 26, V. 5, 19, 56. For his intention, see P. Ross. Georg. I, p. 153, n. 1. P. Ross. Georg. corpus consists of five volums: Zereteli, Krüger 1925; Krüger 1929; Zereteli, Jernstedt 1930; Jernstedt 1927; Zereteli, Jernstedt 1935.
6 The former belonged to A. I. Papadopoulos-Kerameus
since 1888 and was purchased by the Imperial Academy
of Sciences in Petersburg in 1897-1898 with the medi-
ation of V. K. Ernstedt. N. P. Likhachev brought his collection from Cairo in 1907 with additional acquisitions
from Paris and from G. F. Zereteli. The collection was transferred (according to Zereteli 1931: 461, n. 4) to the Museum of Palaeography of Academy of Sciences in Leningrad and later to the Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to I. F. Fikhman, the majority of papyri from the Academy of Science are now held at the State Hermitage in Petersburg (Фихман 1987: 53-54).

him from Egypt by B. A. Turaev in 1909-1910, and of some selected papyri from Golenis-chev's collection, granted by the owner 10.
In 1914, G. F. Zereteli returned to the Saint Petersburg University from Tartu (Ju-riev) and together with M. I. Rostovzeff launched a joint papyrological seminar in which Greek papyri were transcribed and translated 1 1. At the same time, M. I. Rostovzeff and G. F. Zereteli saw the need of acquiring a larger collection of Greek papyri for development of the Russian school of papyrology. In May 1914, a report was composed and submitted to the Russian Academy of Sciences, arguing the necessity of an expedition to Egypt and asking for a budget to buy Greek and Coptic papyri at the Egyptian markets 12. M. I. Rostovzeff wrote the first part of this document concerning the papyri dated to Hellenistic and Roman times, and B. A. Turaev advocated the purchase of late antique Christian papyri. The text was an expression of general opinion of their circle, and most likely G. F. Zereteli was behind the scene as well 13. The authors of the petition referred to the abundance of European and North American papyrological collections of the time in comparison with the lack of Greek papyrus texts in Russia. The application got approval and the sum of 10,000 roubles was granted for the project. The expedition was scheduled for February - March of 1915. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the First World War, the Revolution, and Civil war in Russia that followed the project was never fulfilled, and Russia was left with the pre-WW1 collections which were no result of systematic excavations or careful market selection by specialists.
The events of the Revolution and following years greatly affected Byzantine and Oriental studies in Russia. B. A. Turaev died in 1920 deeply depressed at the age of 52 14; M. I. Rostovzeff fled Russia. G. F. Zereteli got briefly arrested in 1919 and after having been released accepted the invitation to move to Tiflis where he took up a professorship in the newly-founded Independent University. As soon as he settled in Tiflis, he started working on the publication of Greek papyri from Russian collections, the project that he had been planning since at least 1900. This project took G. F. Zereteli more time than planned and,
10 G. F. Zereteli wrote about the history of his collection in a letter to P. V. Ernstedt dated 16.04.1923 (unpublished, St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences). B. A. Turaev was married to G. F. Zereteli's sister Elena. On the collection, see the introduction in Chepel 2018. The collection has been studied by F. Mitthof and S. Kovarik in 2010 and by E. Chepel in 2017 and 2018.
11 On the seminar, see: Павловская 1997: 178-179. When P. Ross. Georg. I came out in 1925, M. I. Ros-
tovzeff complained in a private letter that he had not been mentioned there, although most of the papyri were
transcribed at 'his' seminar; see: Бонгард-Левин, Тун-
кина 1997: 267. Neither claim is just. Some of P. Ross. Georg. I could be indeed the result of the work of the seminar. However, most of the papyri in the volume were published for the first time or had been published earlier than 1914: 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. Furthermore, M. I. Rostovzeff was duly given credit in the Preface to the P. Ross. Georg. I (S. v). In his article, which came out in 1931, on p. 462, G. F. Ze-
reteli referred to the initial project of the publication of all Russian papyri as collaborative with M. I. Rostov-zeff — a reference that was very dangerous at that time and could cost (and, probably, indeed did cost) him a lot, since M. I. Rostovzeff was a persona non grata in the Soviet State.

13 Some ideas in this report are very similar to G. F. Zereteli's complaint about the lack of Greek papyri in Russia that is present in his letter to V. K. Ernstedt already on 4.08.1900 (Saint Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, F. 733, inv. 2, 222, 204-205).

unfortunately, was not finished before his arrest and death in 1938-1939, so that many papyrus texts in Russian collections remained unpublished. At first, he planned to publish all papyri from the collections in Moscow, Petersburg, and Tbilisi in five volumes. The first volume came out in 1925 and included literary fragments among which many had been already published previously. The next volume (P. Ross. Georg. IV) was prepared by P. V. Ernstedt, V. K. Ernstedt's son and G. F. Zereteli's student, and included Byzantine papyri from Aphrodi-to from N. P. Likhachev's collection in Petersburg. G. F. Zereteli's other disciple O. O. Krue-ger prepared volume II that was published in 1929. The following year volume III appeared, co-edited by P. V. Ernstedt and G. F. Zereteli and consisting of two parts — private papyrus letters and documents of Roman and Byzantine times 15. By 1935, when the fifth volume had been prepared, it became clear that there still remained unpublished papyri in the collections, and G. F. Zereteli announced volume VI 16. He started working on it, but could never finish. His transcripts and drafts for this publication are now held in his personal archive in Tbilisi. Among these, there are drafts of the editions not only of papyri from his private collection held in Tbilisi but also a number of unpublished texts from the Pushkin Museum and the Hermitage.
After G. F. Zereteli's death, none of his colleagues continued his work on the publication of the inédita. P. V. Ernstedt concentrated on Coptic studies and published Coptic texts from the museum collections in Leningrad and Moscow. O. O. Krueger was arrested in 1938 and sentenced to exile in Kasakhstan. He returned to Leningrad only in 1955 and published several Greek papyri and mummy tablets from the Hermitage before his death in 1967. O. O. Krueger's student I. F. Fikhman was interested in papyri as sources for historical research on Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. He published several insightful articles on G. F. Ze-reteli's life and work and a handbook of documentary papyrology (in Russian). However, he did not publish any papyri 17. The same should be said of Y. N. Litvinenko, a historian who published research papers on the history of Graeco-Roman Egypt, and on M. I. Rostovzeff's life and work, including the latter's contribution to the field of Greek papyrology. Y. N. Lit-vinenko used papyrological sources for historical research but did not engage himself in publishing papyri. Apart from O. O. Krueger's editions in 1955-1967, Zereteli's project of publishing Greek papyri from Soviet collections was interrupted for several decades.
The present state of the Russian collections
There are three collections of Greek papyri, which are now held in Russia: the collection at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, the collection of the State Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, and the collection of the Russian National Library in Saint Petersburg 18.
15 On the preparation of P. Ross. Georg. III, see: Чепель 2018. On the reception of this volume in the academic community, see: Chepel 2019.
16 See: Церетели 1936.
17 For instance, at the Russian National Library in Pe-
tersburg, where 15 papyrus fragments from Saqqara are kept, there is a record of I. F. Fikhman consulting them.
According to this record, he consulted only the two published ones and did not look at the inedita. 18 J. A. Shavrin and I. Yu. Miroshnikov have recently informed me that several fragments of Greek and Coptic papyri are held also at the Museum of the Perm University.

The Russian National Library
There are 15 papyri, whose inventory numbers are available in a new catalogue of the Greek manuscripts of the library 19. The papyri were described by E. de Muralt and the facsimilia were added; the fragments were identified as coming from the archive of a Roman Memphite official. Only five texts have been published following papyrological conventions and with a commentary. I have examined the collection in Saint Petersburg in July 2018, and I plan to publish the inedita in the nearest future and to conduct a further study of this collection together with the papyri in Berlin and Leipzig that also belong to this archive 20.
The State Hermitage
In 2005, Y. Lougovaya and R. Ast undertook a study and digitalisation of the collection of Greek papyri kept at the State Hermitage in the framework of the Advanced Papyrological Information System (APIS) project 21. The catalogue of the collection has been incorporated into the APIS and is now available online. According to the APIS data, there are at least 210 unpublished fragments in Greek, among which are papyri acquired during V. G. Bock's expedition as well as fragments formerly housed in the Academy of Science in St. Petersburg (earlier the collection of N. P. Likhachev).
The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts
The collection of the Pushkin Museum has been least studied 22. Recently, the papyri held at the Museum have been digitised and uploaded to the online catalogue of Russian museums as a part of the initiative of the Russian Ministry of Culture 23. I have used the open data of this catalogue to compile a list of Greek papyri held at the Museum 24. After studying the photos, I could identify the texts published in P. Ross. Georg. I, II, III, and V 25. The links with the images have now been added to the papyri.info database. The papyri published in P. Ross. Georg. are included in the Part 1 of the list below. The other papyri are inedita and are given in chronological order based on my preliminary dating of the texts. The photos provided in the online catalogue are often of low quality and do not allow for dating or transcribing the texts. The papyri with such photos are grouped at the end of my list. The first in-

20 I would like to thank the staff of the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library for their kind assistance with the consultation of the originals and with the order of digital images. I would also like to thank A. Märker for providing me with the images of the papyri held at Leipzig.
21 See: Lau-Lamb 2008.
22 When the project on publication of all papyri in Rus-
sian collections started in 1920-s, G. F. Zereteli was al-
ready in Georgia and his students lived in St. Petersburg.
In order to go to Moscow to work on papyri, they had to get additional funding for research trips, which was a difficult task at that time.
23 See: www.GosKatalog.ru. The data were last accessed on 15.08.2018.
24 The access to the originals or provision of better quality photos has been denied to me by the Museum on the ground that the collection of Greek papyri is being currently studied by the employees of the Museum. As stated in an official reply from the Museum, the cataloguing and study of the papyri will take several years before scholars outside the Museum can be granted access to the collection.
25 All texts could be identified except for P. Ross. Georg. I. 20; II. 12, 25; III. 13; V. 64. P. Ross. Georg. IV consisted of papyri from the N. P. Likhachev's collection exclusively.

ventory number (e. g. 9825801) is the number of the entry in the online catalogue; the second (e. g. Hr-4697/5) and the third numbers (e. g. I.1.6 257/5) are inventory numbers of the papyrus in the Pushkin Museum. Finally, the links to the entries are provided to facilitate the consultation of the photos 26.
Among unpublished texts, I have identified the inv. Hr-5734 that is mentioned and partly transcribed in P. Ross. Georg. V, S. 43. Four other texts were studied by G. F. Zereteli: Hr-4909, Hr-4723, Hr-4708, and Hr-4918. The transcripts of these papyri have been found and identified by me at the Georgian National Centre of Manuscripts in Tbilisi. The papyrus Hr-4909 contains 30 lines of the testament of a Roman citizen Marcus Papeirius Bassus in favour of his daughter. The document is dated but the papyrus breaks off in the middle of the titulature ('3rd regnal year of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius', hence, 2nd or 3rd century AD) and translated from Latin (eXlnvtoxi ^eQep^nveu^evn?). The papyrus Hr-4723 is a Byzantine receipt; the papyrus Hr-4918 is a document from the archive of Sophia patricia (Trismegistos archive 490); and the papyrus Hr-4708 is a private letter about metal instruments. Other highlights include a list of food products in three columns (Hr-4764), and a dated sales contract signed by the notary Ioannes (Hr-4812+Hr-4813, 718 AD).
