👉 First publication of all 72 pages of the Greek magical papyrus PGM IV!
PGM IV consists of 36 lose sheets inscribed mostly on both sides. It is the most extensive ancient Greek magic book and contains 3.274 lines.
The ritual manual is dated to the 4th century.
Spent the last days with trying to make sense of the order of the sheets and the translations.
Love my work 😃
