Un papyrus découvert en Égypte à Philadelphia, fin 2022, a livré 98 lignes de fragments de deux tragédies d'Euripide, "Polyidos" et "Ino". 76 lignes étaient auparavant inconnues.

Bin gerade an jener Stelle von Austers Buch angelangt, die von #IreneVallejo in #Papyrus zitiert wird. Sie will damit ihren Leser:innen den Verfall der antiken Bibliotheken illustrieren.

Die Bibliothek, Sinnbild intellektueller Ordnung; Ein Zufluchtsort, in stetiger Auflösung begriffen und doch Symbol der Hoffnung - falls es diese heute noch zu geben vermag.

Ich lese weiter, wohin mich die Lektüre auch zu führen vermag.
