In October
2015 the Derveni Papyrus, commonly called "the oldest European “book”, was
included in UNESCO'S Memory of the World Program. The Derveni
Papyrus is the only 4th century BC legible literary papyrus to be found on
Greek soil. It was discovered near Derveni in 1962 during public works, about
10 km from Thessaloniki. The Center for Hellenic Studies (Harvard University) iMouseion
Derveni Papyrus Project has developed a digital platform allowing
simultaneous comparative display of all the editions of the Papyrus.
