Revelation 1-3 in Christian Arabic Commentary
Ibn Kātib Qayṣar on Visions, Angels, Prophets, and Dreams
The Early Coptic Papacy
From Women's Piety to Male Devotion
When we read early Christian narratives such as the Acts of Paul and Thecla , what is the relationship between the characters portrayed in the story and the “real-life” persons and groups who composed and transmitted the work?

She endures a trial by fire in Iconium, resists sexual assault on the road to Antioch, and survives attacks …

Ibn Kātib Qayṣar's long-neglected Commentary on the Apocalypse of John is a veritable treasure trove for those interested not only in the early transmission of the biblical text and its history of interpretation, but also in the way ancient definitions of prophecy and vision were reconceived in Arabic Christian theology.

It traces the fascinating lines of the Coptic church's theological and cultural transition from late antiquity to Dar al-Islam. The…
