title = "Material Aspects of Letter Writing in the Graeco-Roman World: 500 BC - AD 300",
abstract = "Ancient letters had formatting and stylistic conventions that were carefully respected by their writers. This book provides the first comprehensive study of these conventions based on a wide corpus of letters surviving on their original material substrates primarily from Graeco-Roman Egypt. It elucidates and contextualises the impact of sociocultural phenomena on stylistic variations over a long period in the history of epistolary practice.",
