The fourth issue of the collection contains the monograph "La Villa des Papyrus et les rouleaux d'Herculanum. La Bibliothèque de Philodème" by Daniel Delattre (The Villa of Papyri and the Herculaneum Scrolls. Philodemus' Library). The monograph considers the origin, content ? essentially epicurean philosophy ? and the state of the most beautiful private library that antiquity left us and the difficulties connected with deciphering scrolls charred by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79, and the most recent techniques ? in particular multispectral imaging ? developed to remedy this.

Research director of the CNRS (Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes ? papyrology section), Daniel Delattre has written several contributions on Herculanean papyrology and ancient philosophy, and is the editor of "Philodème de Gadara.

The approximately hundred papyri which make up the Latin library discovered in the so-called Villa of the Pisones, in Herculaneum, have always been neglected by scholars, unlike Greek papyri, because of their poor state of conservation. There is no general study of this library, much of which remains unedited. Les papyrus latins d'Herculanum. Découverte, consistance, contenu by M. Capasso is a starting point for such a study, as it explores problems such as the original consistency of the Latin library, its content and its relationship to the Greek library.

Le livre d’histoire dans les papyrus by Natascia Pellé, was developed from a seminar on the corpus of historical papyri of Xenophon held at the University of Liège in 2009. The book consists of a study of the diffusion of Greek and Latin historiography in Graeco-Roman Egypt, by means of a bibliological and palaeographic analysis  of  papyri containing fragments of  Greek and Latin historians, as well as adespota. Close attention is paid to the the physical characteristics of the papyri which allows the editorial disposition of the “history book” on papyrus in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt to be reconstructed.
