The oldest known book fragment in the world to date was recognized by conservators at the University of Graz by a thread remnant, sewing holes, the centerfold and the text arranged in columns. The fragment now belongs to a collection of 52 papyrus objects, some of which were used as so-called cartonnage for mummy wrappings in the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BC).
