Nonnus of Panopolis in context II : poetry, religion, and society ; proceedings of the international conference on Nonnus of Panopolis, 26th - 29th September 2013, University of Vi...
:
Nonnus of Panopolis in Upper-Egypt is the author of the 48 books of the last large scale mythological epic in antiquity, the Dionysiaca . The same author also wrote an epic poem on the life and times of Jesus Christ according to St John's Gospel . Nonnus has an outstanding position in ancient literature being at the same time a pagan and a Christian author, living in a time when Christianity was common in the Roman empire, while pagan culture and traditional world views were still maintained. The volume is designed to cover literary, cultural and religious aspects of Nonnus' poetry as well as to highlight the social and educational background of both the Dionysiaca and the Paraphrasis of the Gospel of St. John .

Voyage en Haute-Egypte : prêtres, coptes et catholiques /
:
"C'est en Haute-Égypte, la région la plus pauvre du pays, que nous emmène cet ouvrage, à la rencontre des coptes-catholiques, minorité de la minorité, au milieu d'une mer copte-orthodoxe et d'un océan musulman. C'est en suivant des prêtres égyptiens, de leur formation au séminaire, puis à Rome, jusqu'au retour dans leurs paroisses rurales, avant et après la révolution de 2011, que le lecteur découvre l'histoire de cette petite Église. Le livre retrace aussi l'histoire des contacts séculaires des coptes-catholiques avec des franciscains italiens et jésuites français. Le lecteur découvre enfin les communautés villageoises de cette région, pauvres et actives. Curés de campagne, les prêtres coptes-catholiques arbitrent les conflits, arrangent les mariages et luttent contre le sous-développement chronique de la Haute-Égypte délaissée par un État à la fois omniprésent et déficient. Ils défendent la cause des femmes dans une société patriarcale, représentent leurs paroissiens au milieu de tensions confessionnelles croissantes et face aux autorités administratives et politiques. Ce livre, comme le souligne Robert Solé dans sa préface, réussit à nous faire partager, de manière saisissante, la vie quotidienne des habitants de la vallée du Nil."--Page 4 of cover.

Red Monastery Architectural Conservation
:
The Red Monastery Church conservation project is one of ARCE’s longest and most successful endeavors in preservation. Architectural conservation and site presentation work was carried out at the Red Monastery Church under the supervision of Michael Jones and Nicholas Warner. The work was executed by Nicholas Warner with his team of local, skilled craftsmen. Among the tasks completed were: the installation of new limestone paving and a new electrical network with LED lighting throughout the church; installation of new wooden doors and cupboards; replacement of sections of timber damaged by termites; roofing work; re-erection of fallen columns in the nave; installation of displays of archaeological finds; installation of a new altar in the sanctuary; and repair and conservation of the interior and exterior of the tower adjacent to the church.

Shunet el-Zebib Documentation and Conservation
:
The funerary monument of King Khasekhemwy in Abydos is also known as the Shunet el-Zebib. Little is known about King Khasekhemwy, the last king of the Second Dynasty, but his reign ended in 2686 BC, making Shunet el-Zebib among the oldest surviving mud-brick structures in the world and the best example of Egypt’s earliest tradition of royal mortuary building. Funding from the Egyptian Antiquities Project (EAP) between 1999 and 2006 resulted in documentation and conservation of approximately 50% of the 200-meter perimeter using newly made mud bricks of the same size and originally sourced materials to re-establish structural integrity. Follow-up funding provided under a subsequent USAID grant in 2010 enabled team members to continue with the stabilization and conservation of the enclosure, parts of which still risked collapse. The precarious situation at the Shunet el-Zebib was evidenced by its inclusion in the World Monuments Fund’s 2008 Watch List of the World’s 100 Most Endangered Sites.

The Literary Coptic manuscripts in the A.S. Pushkin State Fine Arts Museum in Moscow /
:
This volume contains the first complete publication of the collection of Coptic literary manuscripts now in the A.S. Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, Moscow. The collection formed in 1870-1908 by Vladimir Golenischev is of great value since it covers almost the entire field of early Christian literature in Egypt and substantially aids to fill up serious lacunae in many well-known literary works, to say nothing of the texts hitherto unknown. Important is also the fact that Coptica Golenischeviana largely derives from the library of St. Shenoute's monastery at Sohag, this virtual National Library of Christian Egypt, the source of the riches of the museums and libraries of Paris, Vienna, Berlin et cetera.
