Padua Aramaic papyri

Padua Aramaic papyri 1

The Padua Aramaic papyri are a group of three Aramaic papyri thought to be from the 400s BCE, found in a collection of antiquities in the Italian city of Padua. The papyri are unprovenanced, but are conjectured to have been from Elephantine.

They were first published in 1936 by Luigi Gaudenzio in a group of unrelated documents; they first received scholarly attention after their 1960 publication by Edda Bresciani.^[1]

They are currently in the Musei Civici di Padova, and are also known as TSSI II 28.
