This introductory chapter serves as a methodological introduction to the significance of literary and documentary texts on papyrus as vital primary sources for linguistics, philology, and literary criticism, as well as for historical and juridical studies. These texts have typically been underutilised by classicists. However, recent re-examination of the available Latin and Graeco-Latin literary and documentary evidence, conducted as part of the ERC Project PLATINUM, has yielded significant results. These findings are briefly outlined here, with a particular emphasis on submerged and previously unknown Latin literature, and Roman wills as sociohistorical sources.
