 Ann
Ellis Hanson
Senior Research Scholar & Senior Lector of
Classics
I was born Ann Ellis in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and
received my B.A. in Classics at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, and an M.A. in Ancient History,
working principally with Professor Herbert Chayyim
Youtie in papyrology. My PHD in Classics is from
the University of Pennsylvania (1971), writing my
dissertation, Textual Tradition and Transmission
of the Gynecological Treatises of the Hippocratic
Corpus, under the supervision of Professor W.D.
Smith. I was instructor to tenured associate professor
at Fordham University from 1968 to 1989 and curator
of papyri at Princeton University Library from 1977
to 1988. In the years following the death of my
husband, Professor John Arthur Hanson, Classics,
Princeton University, I peregrinated as visiting
professor in Classics to the University of Texas
in Austin, as Mellon professor at the Intercollegiate
Center for Classical Studies in Rome, to the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and to University of California
in Berkeley, before coming to Yale in fall, 1998.
Over the years I have had the advantage of a number
of fellowships (NIH, ACLS, NEH, IAS, DAAD) and in
1992 was named a MacArthur Fellow. I have served
on a number of committees within the American Philological
Association (nominating, research, professional
ethics, board of directors) and functioned as editor
for both The Society for Ancient Medicine Review
22-24 (1994-97) and American Studies in Papyrology
(monographs ##28, 32-42).
In recent years I have been especially privileged
to take part in a number of scholarly working groups
(International Workshop for Papyrology and Social
History, 1990-present; The Leibnitz Seminar, Heidelberg,
1995-2000; Corpus of Medical Papyri, Firenze, 1995-present;
Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Greek
& Babylonian medicine project, 1999-2001). I am
the author of some 100 articles and reviews in the
fields of papyrology and Greek and Roman medicine,
and hope shortly to finish two long-standing projects:
The First Century A.D. Tax Archive from Philadelphia,
text and commentary for the some 160 papyri belonging
to the collector of money taxes at Philadelphia
in the Fayum in the Julio-Claudian period, and Hippocrates,
Diseases of Women I and II, text and translation
for Loeb Classical Library.
