AHIS369: Voices from Coptic Egypt
This unit introduces students to the wealth of texts from Late Antique and Medieval Egypt written in Coptic, both original and translated, including: religious texts, such as biblical and non-canonical texts in their Coptic translations, saints' lives, sermons or theological treatises; and texts reflecting the spiritual and personal interests of the individual such as magical and medical texts, personal letters, contracts and tax documents. Knowledge of the Coptic language is not necessary for this unit, as original texts are studied in translation.
