PAThs: Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths. An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature. Literary Texts in their Geographical Context is an ERC project (Advanced Grant 2015, project number 687567) directed by Prof. Paola Buzi (Sapienza University of Rome), aimed at providing an in-depth, diachronic understanding and a concrete geographical representation of Coptic-language manuscript and literary production between the 3rd and 13th centuries AD. The atlas is based on an online database built with the Bradypus platform. In particular, LAD is responsible for building the central database, the online resources (atlas, website, documentation) and the processing of the historical cartographic bases.
