Jiménez San Cristóbal 1 Two Aspects of the Orphic Papyrological Tradition: PGurob 1 and the Greek Magic Rolls 1 Introduction Even though the Derveni Papyrus is a very important document, it is not the only papyrus relevant to the study of Orphism. There are others, although not very many, that are interesting, each one disclosing a different perspective. In this occasion, we refer to the Gurob Papyrus 1 and some Magical Papyri. Other papyri could be cited, like PSI VII 850 (OF 310),1 PBerol. inv. 44 (OF 383, 387–389, 392–393, 396–397),2 and the Bologna Papyrus (PBonon. 4).3 2 The Gurob Papyrus 1 2.1 The text The Gurob Papyrus 1 (found at the lower entrance to Fayum), dated to the middle of the 3rd cent. BC,4 consists of two columns with 30 and 26 lines respectively;5 in the first, approximately half of the first lines are missing, but it is possible to reconstruct a text that is quite legible. Only some isolated words can be read from 1 Cardin/Ozbek (2011); Jiménez San Cristóbal (2015a). 2 Jiménez San Cristóbal (2015b). 3 Jiménez San Cristóbal (2017). 4 Hordern (2000). Smyly (1921) dates it to the beginning of the same century and West (1983) 170, towards the end of the century. 5 Image in Hordern (2000) pl. III; Morand (2001) 208.
