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.

Another Athanasius : four Sahidic homilies attributed to Athanasius of Alexandria : two homilies...
:
"Many Coptic literary texts are circulated under the name of Athanasius of Alexandria, the Alexandrian Archbishop and Theologian (ca. 296/298-2 May 373). Although there are strong evidences that most of these texts are falsely attributed to him, they are of extreme importance for the study of Coptic Christianity. The four homilies, edited and translated in this two volumes book, present 'Another Athanasius' to those who knew the history of their pseudo-Author. The homilies present Athanasius as a close friend of Pachomius, the Archimandrite of Upper Egypt (ca. 292-348). A visit of Pachomius to Alexandria is described in details. One homily relates about Athanasius' escape to Upper Egypt. Another homily contains fanciful acts of the Nicene council. The last homily presents Athanasius as a preacher while giving a long talk on the Christian household. This corpus of texts reveals the mental image of Athanasius in the Coptic mentality through centuries after his death."--

Le Canon 8 de Chénouté : d'après le manuscript Ifao Copte 2 et les fragments complémentaires /
:
Shenoute (4th-5th cent.), the abbot of the great monastery in Upper Egypt known as "White Monastery," is considered as the Coptic writer par excellence, being the author of nine books of so-called Canons, or sermons on monastic discipline. Scattered after their discovery in the late 1880's, like all manuscripts of the Monastery's library, the volumes have reached us only in a very fragmentary state. Canon 8 is a welcome exception, as a copy, dated 8th century and preserved up to 80%, has been kept in the collection of Ifao for over a hundred years. Presented here are the description, edition and translation of the various sermons contained in the manuscript, with colour reproductions of all the pages stored in Cairo. Such a valuable testimony should be of great interest to scholars in book history and Coptic language, as well as in Egyptian monasticism, which Shenoute, one of its most passionate representatives, served with a fiery and subtle rhetoric.

Women in Western and Eastern Manichaeism : Selected Papers from the International Conference Les femmes dans le manichéisme occidental et oriental held in Paris, University of Pari...
:
The exceptional place women held in Manichaeism, in everyday life or myth, is the object of this book. Relying on firsthand Manichaean texts in several languages and on polemical sources, as well as on iconography, the various papers analyze aspects of women's social engagement by spreading Mani's doctrine, working to support the community, or corresponding with other Manichaean groups. Topics such as women's relation to the body and elect or hearer status are also investigated. The major role played by female entities in the myth is enlightened through occidental and oriental texts and paintings discovered in Central Asia and China.

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.
