The eponymous Dr Obbink |
' April 17th 2014) gives the following information about the publication of the new Sappho fragment:
Dirk Obbink does not provide any detail on acquisition circumstances and documents in the final publication of what is now called in papyrological language ‘P. Sapp. Obbink’, just out (Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 189, 2014, 32-49)It seems rather unfortunate that somebody (Dr Obbink himself?) chose the scholar's name to define the papyrus. It rather suggests he himself is the owner. Is he? How come?
Dr Mazza's post is well-argued and well worth reading. Please give the points she raises some thoughts.
