Armeno-Greek papyrus

The Armeno-Greek papyrus is a manuscript from Egypt which bears Greek writing in Armenian letters.

The document is significant for the study of the early development of Armenian script styles.

According to James Clackson, the document belongs to the tradition of Greek educational texts written on papyri in Egypt.

[2] The papyrus was acquired from an Arab dealer by Auguste Carrière, the chair of Armenian at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales in Paris, in or shortly before 1892.

It was rediscovered by historian Dickran Kouymjian in 1993 among uncatalogued Armenian manuscripts recently acquired by the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
