Recommended reason Kenyon is a paleographer, former director of the British Museum. The unearthed papyrus literature provides a great deal of physical and first-hand information for the study of the history of western books. In this book, Kenyon summarizes and analyzes these materials. In combination with the sporadic narration of books and readings in classical literature, Kenyon introduces the readers to the vivid and detailed materials on the materials of ancient Greek and Roman social life, Content and the occurrence, development and evolution of reading habits. From the perspective of classical philology, this article examines the great interest from nobles to the general public for popularizing reading and disseminating knowledge during that period. The book also mentions some anecdotes, which greatly enhances the fun of reading.
