Alcestis Barcinonensis (original) (raw)
The so-called Alcestis Barcinonensis is a mythological poem of at least 124 Latin hexameters on the story of Alcestis dying for the sake of her husband Admetus, following by and large the play by Euripides. The poem has been written on four papyrus leaves (papyri Barcinonenses inv. no. 158ab, 159ab, 160ab and 161a) dated to the second half of the fourth century on account of the handwriting, an early half-uncial with cursive elements, and inserted into a codex mixtus at some later point in time. The editio princeps has been published by the Catalan priest and papyrologist Ramon Roca-Puig on 18 October 1982. The papyrus leaves are now in the possession of the foundation Sant Lluc Evangelista founded by Roca-Puig and located in Barcelona (in Latin: Barcino, hence the specifying adjective).

Nonostante il suo scarso valore letterario, l'operetta ha una rilevanza papirologica notevole, in quanto si tratta di uno dei pochissimi papiri letterari latini pervenutici al di fuori dell'Egitto o di Ercolano, oltre a testimoniare l'uso persistente del papiro ancora nel passaggio dal rotolo (volumen) al codice (codex) ancora nel tardo IV secolo d.C.
