Abstract
The work undertaken by Georges Posener on the IFAO’s literary ostraca has undoubtedly contributed to highlight most of the most characteristic witnesses of the literary artworks kept at the Institute. However, the collection is partially published and one of the current issues is still to understand the part of the « richesses inconnues » among the unpublished documentation. Nevertheless, in the case of the IFAO collection, it is difficult to focus the research on specific texts, particularly because of its quantitative importance. The aim of this contribution is to set out the various works currently carried out to overcome this difficulty, and to present some of the ostraca studied in this context. These cases of study illustrate the state of the unpublished collection and allow to do some observations on the understanding of the texts, with the help of the handwritings and the hieratic palaeography.
