The goal of the conference is to gather Greek and Coptic papyrologists involved in palaeographic research (identification of hands, dating on palaeographical grounds, characterization of styles and scripts) together with Computer Scientists specialized in Historical Documents and Handwriting Analysis. Papyrologists are invited to present case-studies built on palaeographical criteria. Computer Scientists will present their work on Writer Identification and Script Classification.
