Why this is in the register

Only edition: A. Delattre, Papyrus coptes et grecs du monastère d'apa Apollô de Baouît conservés aux Musées royaux d'Art et d'Histoire de Bruxelles (Académie royale de Belgique, Mémoires de la Classe des lettres, 3e sér. t. 43, 2007).

No English translation of the dossier located in HOLLIS or OpenLibrary.

Second modern edition of papyri from the Apa Apollo monastery at Bawit (the Brussels collection). Companion to the IFAO Louvre volume; the two editions together edit only a fraction of the excavated Bawit documentary material.

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: no scan located. Named checks, all negative. IA advancedsearch 'Baouit' = 6 items, all MIFAO excavation reports (Clédat 1904, Chassinat 1920, Maspero 1931), none the papyrus edition; creator:'Delattre' + title:Baouit = 0. BnF catalogue has the only edition (Alain Delattre, 2007, ark cb41109212h) but the UNIMARC record carries no 856$u, i.e. not in Gallica, and Gallica is 403 from this host anyway. DigiVatLib has no Baouit title in any fond (title/keyword searches 200 with 0 rows). HMML holds no papyri and its Reading Room is login-walled. papyri.info returns an Anubis bot-challenge page (HTTP 200, 'Making sure you're not a bot'), so Greek/Coptic documentary databases could not be queried.
