@roger_pearse @ArmandDAngour i don't buy 'publicity' arguments … there are probably less than 100 people on earth who care

@roger_pearse @ArmandDAngour if you're unwilling to admit you bought it, why bother?

@roger_pearse @ArmandDAngour why bother to buy it?

@roger_pearse @ArmandDAngour what is the danger?

@jstpwalsh i don't think we still have the full provenance until we have names

@jstpwalsh i think the link is there …

@roger_pearse @ArmandDAngour where are the nutters in papyrology? let's get real … you're adding a name to a chain of ownership

Can anyone name a recently-found text of Sappho that came from mummy cartonnage?

@CarlyASilver we are now told that it wasn't mummy cartonnage … so no 8)

@jstpwalsh @JD_PhD what caused him to change his mind?

@jstpwalsh @JD_PhD does a photo of the fragment look like it had been folded?

@jstpwalsh @JD_PhD maybe it was just cleaned well

#newsappho 1: an anonymous collector buys papyrus cartonnage of some sort from Christie's in 2011 then dismantles it with his staff…

#newsappho 2: then decides some fragments are unimportant and sells them on the London market again

#newsappho 3: they go to the Green collection and come out to be verses of Sappho

#newsappho 4: perfectly legal. But imagine the risk if the anonymous collector (or dealer?) did sell otherwise: #newsappho lost forever…

#newsappho 5: now re-think about the legal antiquities market.
