Abstract
Best-seller of antiquity, Homer is the Greek author most often attested by papyrological documentation, and theIliad is two or three times more frequently attestedthan theOdyssey. One of the reasons for this is that Homer was the " classical " authorpar excellence, i.e. used in a school context, either as a medium for primary teaching of writing and reading, or as an object of study and commentary. The Homeric documents produced or used in a school context therefore provide us with information ofat leasttwo orders : on the Homeric text itself, insofar as it differs to a greater or lesser extent from the Alexandrian vulgate, and on the way it was used by teachers and pupils. Among all this documentation, today's session will be devoted to the study of a Homeric school tablet preserved in Berlin, whose material and (paleo)graphic characteristics will be particularly observed.
