About CaLiBRA

Notes

These photographs were taken by Emile Seraphis in 1969 and therefore many tablets which are now joined appear either as separate fragments on the same plate, or in separate photographs; these joins are indicated in the database with links to other associated photographs. Information on joins post-dating the publication of PTT may be found in the publications of J.L. Melena in the journal Minos (see references below). Scribal attributions are based on Scribes Pylos unless otherwise stated; other notes on the tablets (e.g. indications of palimpsests) are based on PTT and/or PoN4.

All entries have been checked as far as possible but some errors may remain; the Mycenaean Epigraphy Group would be grateful to have any errors or omissions brought to their attention (see Contact page).
