Système de correction et signes critiques ou utilitaires dans les papyrus grecs de médecine

peer reviewedFollowing my previous work on scribal practices in Greek medical writings, especially on the graphic signs that accompany these texts on papyrus, parchment, ostracon and tablets, whose first part on punctuation was published in 2019, this paper lists all the critical and utilitarian signs attested in Greek medical papyri of the Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine periods, which are either directly associated with editorial work or were added by the scribe or corrector to provide the reader with practical information about the text.
