Egyptian-Arabic Scholarship in Classics and Papyrology: Invisible or Marginalized?

Egyptian-Arabic Scholarship in Classics and Papyrology: Invisible or Marginalized?

I am not trying to get into detail of this large topic. My aim is just to record what I have found and then I will go back to this.  I have once twitted about this. 

It's usually reported, not infrequently with astonishing confidence, that the Egyptian school of Greco-Roman Studies is a peripheral. Yet I wonder how this conclusion came 2 exist while its publications r not included either n L'Année philologique o n Bibligraphie Papyrologique!

L'Année philologique contains only 100 record of Arabic scholarship in the field, while Bibligraphie Papyrologique have almost no record.

Her is what I have found from L'Année philologique.

There is only 100 records.

Making Arabic-Egyptian and Non-Egyptian scholarship in Classics Visible

In my blog here you could browse hundreds of records which I have unsystematically been posting since 2014. In the spreadsheet below I recorded up till now over than 300 records of Egyptian scholarship in Classics and papyrology. I will be adding more in the coming months.

Here is the spreadsheet. It is in Arabic, but I will transcribe the titles into English and provide every record with an English Abstract. For non-Egyptians scholarship, I will translate the title into Arabic and provide the record with an Arabic abstract. Feel free to add to this list or send me your work about Egypt to make it visible in Arabic too.
