A ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic documentary texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets. Texts published in periodicals as journal articles are mainly excluded, but with a number of exceptions based on the extent of the edition or the presence of full indexes. Greek texts published separately are regularly republished (but without translation or commentary) in successive volumes of Sammelbuch griechischer Urkunden aus Ägypten (SB), the volumes of which are included here. A separate Sammelbuch has now begun the republication of Coptic texts (SB Kopt.). Many volumes containing documentary texts publish literary and subliterary texts as well, and such volumes are of course included, together with volumes of the same series that are exclusively literary. No systematic attempt to include all exclusively literary and subliterary volumes has been made
