Medea Vittoria Irma Norsa (1877–1952) was an Italian papyrologist and philologist[1] She headed the Istituto Papirologico from 1935 to 1949.[2]
Norsa was born in Trieste in 1877 to Michele and Silvia Krosna. She studied at a girls' school in Trieste before going to university in Vienna and then Florence, initially to study Italian literature.[3] In 1906, she earned a degree and began to collaborate with her mentor Girolamo Vitelli on the Papiri Greci e Latini della Società Italiana (PSI); this collaboration continued up to Vitelli's death in 1935 and resulted in 11 volumes of the work.[3]
Norsa died in Florence in 1952.[3]
