Among the Michigan papyri there is a group of eleven which were found together and which, for this and other reasons, appear to have been the humble literary stock of a Coptic magician.' The group bears the numbers 593-603. It was brought from Egypt to the British Museum in February, 1921, by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, and subsequently allotted to the University of Michigan. Dr. W. E. Crum examined it for his Lexicon in August, 1921. Externally the collection falls into three parts: I. Seven leaves of different shapes and sizes, written upon in a very rude hand: Nos. 594, 595, 596, 597, 598, 599, 603. II. Three leaves of different shapes and sizes, written upon in a variable, rather good, popular hand: Nos. 600, 601, and 602. III. Ten leaves of the same shape and size, ca. 6X6 inches, once a codex, written upon in three different, cultivated hands: No. 593. Groups I and II were rolled up and very brittle, and were separated and flattened out with great skill by Mr. Lamacraft, of the British Museum. Group III was found with several blank leaves of the same size and the braided cord with which they were originally bound into a codex. One's first impression is that III might be an older codex from which portions were copied off upon odd bits of papyrus by two persons who wrote I and II. The handwriting of I is extremely rude and uneven, as though produced by some nearly illiterate person who seldom had occasion to write. The pen which he used was stiff and inelastic, and fed the ink badly, as though not properly split. The ink was too thick. The writer blotted letters or words, either by accident or because they did not suit him; and in the latter case he often repeated words standing 1 A similar and larger collection of twenty-one leaves has been published by Erman in Agyptische Urkunden aus den KOiniglichen Museen, Vol. I, and described by Erman in an article, Ein koptischer Zauberer, in the Zeitschrift fiir Agyptische Sprache, Vol. XXXIII (1895). Erman thinks they are Fayumic in origin, and gives the dating of Krebs as about the seventh or eighth century. The collection is now in the Berlin Museum under Nos. P8313-P8333.
