Coptic Dialects - AHPG898

In this unit students build on their knowledge of the classical Sahidic dialect by studying the other main Coptic dialects. The dialects to be studied include Bohairic (the dialect of the Coptic church after 1000 CE), Lycopolitan, Akhmimic and Fayyumic, as well as further advanced study of the Sahidic dialect. These are important literary dialects in which many texts central to Coptic literature and the culture of Late Antique Egypt are preserved.
