It also demonstrates the role of writing in a society where not many people were literate. Orality and Literacy in Greek and Roman Egypt brings together original documents from the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection that illustrate how written documents can help us reconstruct a spoken world.\r\n\r\nOne of the ways we can learn about the ancient world is to read the texts left behind. These texts give first-hand insight into what these ancient peoples did, planned, and thought, and we are lucky that the dry sands of Egypt have preserved for us thousands of them, written on papyri and other perishable writing materials, allowing us an unparalleled look into day-to-day life. Papyri preserve the written world of ancient Egypt but also provide glimpses of what the spoken world was like.\r\n\r\nThis exhibit coincides with the conference \u201cOrality and Literacy in the Ancient World X: Tradition, Transmission, and Adaptation\u201d\u009d hosted by the Department of Classical Studies, June 27-30, 2012.\r\n", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"9176-1139181@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/9176", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Gallery", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["greek and roman egypt","literacy"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":64, "first_occurrence":1139169 } , "9127-1139362": { "datetime_modified":"20120507T171410", "datetime_start":"20120618T100000", "datetime_end":"20120618T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2012-06-18", "date_end":"2012-06-18", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Orson Welles: New Acquisitions", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Orson Welles: New Acquisitions", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Two new archival collections focusing on acclaimed filmmaker and actor Orson Welles (1915-1985) were recently added to the U-M Special Collections Library\u2019s already substantial Welles holdings.
