Paul and the Others
This article proposes a reassessment of the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul by focusing on genre, intertextuality, and structure as well as recurrent motifs. It argues that the Apocalypse situates the mission of Paul negatively in relation to a prison-like cosmos and positively in relation to the twelve apostles and that its form and objectives are best compatible with a fourth-century date
Exit Bishop Tamer – the Sequel. A New Edition of the Epitaph of Papsine alias Doulista (DBMNT 78)
In a paper published in 2007, I proposed a new reading for the owner's names on a Greek funerary stela from Nubia, now in Turin, that had hitherto been attributed by most scholars to a bishop of Faras, allegedly called Tamer, but actually appeared to belong to a woman, Papsine Doulista. 1 In a footnote to the article, I remarked: A re-edition based on a study of the original stone is a desideratum. Thanks to the kindness and hospitality of the st…

Christian Epigraphy of Egypt and Nubia
“In year one of King Zachari”
Edition of a Coptic funerary dipinto from the “Monastery of St. Simeon” (Dayr Anba Hadra), which is of considerable historical interest: it is dated to the first year of a Christian Nubian king, who was apparently recognized by the Egyptian monks as the actual ruler of southern Egypt, although Egypt was nominally ruled by the Islamic Ikhshidids. First published in: BSF 8 (2003), 31–9
Charming a Clogged Nose
A reedition and analysis of a late (ca. 10th–11th cent.) Coptic magical charm found at Saqqara. The commentary links the charm to pre-Christian models and discusses the possible modes of transmission of traditional ritual knowledge in Christian Egypt
The Earliest Dated Epitaph in Coptic. A Second Look
A re-edition of the earliest dated funerary stela with a Coptic formulary presently known. In addition to the date (17 Choiak 270 since Diocletian = 13 December 553), the possible provenance of the stela (Akoris / Tihnah?) is discussed

The Earliest Manuscript of the Coptic Life of Aaron (British Library, Or. 7558 [89] [93] [150])
In this article, we offer a first edition of three papyrus fragments in Sahidic Coptic from the British Library (Or. 7558 [89] [93] [150]). They can be dated to the sixth or seventh century on palaeographical grounds and belong to the earliest known manuscript of the Coptic Life of Aaron . Since a complete manuscript of the text survives in a tenth-century paper codex, also preserved in the British Library (Or. 7029), the fragments enable us to c…
Une stèle funéraire copte au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal
Édition, traduction et commentaire d'une inscription funéraire copte conservée au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal (Inv. 2008.146). Moyenne-Égypte (environs d'Antinoé?), ca. VIIe s
The Copts
This essay briefly reviews the Coptic identity constructions that can be subsumed as 'Pharaonism', and tries to assess them with reference to both ancient sources and modern developments. Broadly speaking, Pharaonism is a way of claiming a deeply rooted national identity that transcends the religious opposition between Egypt's Muslim majority and its indigenous Christian minority, the Copts. As a political ideology it was most successful in the p…

Bringing Home the Homeless
This essay evaluates Egyptian hagiography as a historical source by defining its function in the construction of a Christian landscape. To this purpose, it discusses the Bohairic Martyrdom of Saint James the Persian, shifting attitudes towards the burial of monastic saints, Coptic stories about temple conversions, and contending Christian and Muslim traditions concerning the Holy Family in Egypt
Two Coptic Epitaphs from Qasr Ibrim
A first edition and brief discussion of two Coptic funerary stelae from the medieval cemeteries of Qasr Ibrim in Northern Nubia (ancient Nobadia)
Stelae from Egypt and Nubia in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, c.3000 BC–AD 1150
The volume provides a detailed catalogue of 127 stelae (many funerary) deriving from the Nile Valley, now part of the Egyptian collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The stelae are written in various scripts – Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic and demotic, Carian, Greek, Coptic and early Arabic – and cover a date-range of over 4000 years. Few museums have published their complete holdings of such material, and the carefully described and …
