The majority of the papyri catalogued in 1911 were acquired in Egypt, on the antiquities market and through excavation, by Arthur S. Hunt (1871-1934) and Bernard P. Grenfell (1869-1926). Grenfell and Hunt acquired the papyri in the late 1890s for James Ludovic Lindsay (b. 1847, d. 1913), 26th Earl of Crawford, and then after her purchase of Crawford\u2019s manuscript collection in 1901 for Enriqueta Augustina Rylands (1843-1908). Crawford had made some purchases of papyri on the antiquities market in Cairo in the 1890s, but these apparently included no literary papyri, so were probably not among those catalogued in 1911.
