Sofía Torallas Tovar is Lecturer at the rank of Professor in the Department of Religion at Princeton University. She is also a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the School of Historical Studies, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and a Professor Emerita of Classics at the University of Chicago. Her PhD is in Classics, awarded in 1995 by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) for her thesis on the “Book on Dreams by Philo of Alexandria.” Her primary research interests are papyrology, Graeco-Roman Egypt, and the history of early Christianity in Egypt. Since 2002 she has also served as the curator of the papyrological collections at the Abbey of Montserrat (Barcelona). In addition to her contributions to fields such as administration of Roman Egypt, language contact in the Mediterranean and dreams in Antiquity, Torallas Tovar has authored many editions of papyri. She is currently engaged in an edition of a papyrus roll containing Athanasius’s Letter to Dracontius, the earliest extant witness to Athanasius’s works, and a critical edition of the Coptic versions of the Gospel of Mark in collaboration with Anne Boud’hors (IRHT Paris). Over the past eight years, she has collaborated with Christopher Faraone on the project “Transmission of Magical Knowledge,” dedicated to the publication of Greco-Egyptian magical papyri. Their work was recently recognized with the Goodwin Award of Merit from the Society of Classical Studies (USA).
