Overall, this book is well-conceived and nicely edited (...). It certainly represents a step forward in the challenging task of unearthing the many mysteries that surround the Derveni Papyrus. - Matthieu Real, in: BMCR 2019.10.40 ''In sum, the volume is a welcome addition to the lively scholarship on the Derveni papyrus. Santamaria can be congratulated for bringing together a set of diverse viewpoints on several of the mysteries that the Derveni papyrus offers.'' - Mirjam E. Kotwick, in: The Classical review 70.2: 320-323 (2020) La importancia del volumen radica tanto en lo que se plantea en cada contribucion como en las cuestiones que estas suscitan en el contexto de la investigacion sobre el papiro y, ademas, sobre la religion, el pensamiento, los mitos, los cultos mistericos, la naturaleza de los practicantes, etc. Es evidente que se trata de un documento que, empezando por las dificultades textuales, plantea problemas que admiten soluciones variadas y logicamente discordantes. - Emilio Suarez, in: Antiguedad: Religiones y Sociedades vol.18 (2020)
