Abstract
Since its description a decade ago, the Artemidorus Papyrus has given rise to considerable discussion, fed by the absolute novelty of its content - texts, map and drawings -, but also by repeated doubts concerning its authenticity. This article offers a critical study of the bibliography devoted to the roll and its content; it also proposes a re-examination of the structure of the book, its writing and the organisation of its texts in columns. It attempts to characterise the classical edition that is dealt with here and suggests a new approach to the relation between the cartographic illustration, which occupies nearly one metre of the papyrus, and the résumé of Artemidorus in columns IV and V.
