Abstract

In her Master’s thesis, Delphine Nachtergaele renewed the existing corpus of wetnurse contracts and acquittances (Corpus Papyrorum Graecarum). This collection of texts formed the basis of her investigation into the socio-economic posi- tion of wet-nurse and nursling. She widened the field of investigation by also analyzing private letters regarding wet-nurses and formulated on the basis of her study a number of new hypotheses concerning wet-nurse practice and the identity of the nurslings.
