Centre
for the Study of Ancient Documents
"The Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents was
established in 1995 under the auspices of Oxford University's Faculty
of Literae Humaniores to provide a focus for the study of ancient
documents in Oxford. Although the concentration of the Centre's
activities is within Oxford, it is hoped that it will develop into a
national and international centre that will attract and be of interest
to scholars from other institutions. To this end the Centre's
activities and resources are progressively being made publicly
available through this WWW site."
