  • Peribiophoty

    Open AccessT Murray, Kenneth Pearlman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Embodied Research2023

    Creative practitioners inside academia are often tasked with explaining how their embodied practices constitute research. The Peribiophoty project reverses this paradigm to ask: how does academic research constitute embodied practice? By considering the personal and intellectual contexts (peri), surrounding academics and their biographies (bio), through audio-visual representation (photy), we investigate how academic thinking is embodied thinking…

  • Elemental compositions of papyrus removed from ancient cartonnage reveal technology and date papyrus

    Open AccessAbdullahi Abdirasak Mohamed, Damian B Gore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2023References: 3

    Papyrus was used as a writing support from 2500 BC to the 11th century AD to record and transfer information both in Egypt (where it has predominantly survived) and the wider Mediterranean and Near Eastern world. During the Ptolemaic and early Roman periods in Egypt (c. 322 BC-14 AD), discarded written papyri were recycled and widely used as a support to make cartonnage, which was a glued encasement to protect mummified bodies. This research inve…

  • Writing and Communication in Early Egyptian Monasticism

    Malcolm Choat, Mariachiara GiordaEDITORBOOKWriting and Communication in…2017

    As senders of letters, copyists of literary texts, compilers of accounts, readers, and teachers, the monks of late antique Egypt articulated their interactions with their ascetic and secular environments via their role as authors, scribes, and owners of written text. This volume edited by Malcolm Choat and Maria Chiara Giorda examines the presence and practice of writing, modes of written communication, and the symbolic and spiritual value of the…

  • Narratives of Monastic Genealogy in Coptic Inscriptions

    Open AccessMalcolm ChoatARTICLEReligion in the Roman Empire2015

    Among the many Coptic inscriptions from late antique Egypt which preserve monastic funerary and commemorative texts, a subset present a type of »monastic genealogy«. These emplot the commemorated monk within the wider narrative of monasticism, as part of a lineage stretching from the contemporary community back to God. This paper surveys these texts, noting regional and formulaic variations, and explores the manner in which monastic communities e…

  • Was Coptic a Part of Papyrology? Crum, Bell, and ‘Worrell’s Complaint’ in 1936

    Malcolm ChoatARTICLEChronique d Egypte2013

    This article examines an exchange of letters between Walter Ewing Crum, William Hoyt Worrell, and Harold Idris Bell in 1936, on the question of whether Coptic was part of Papyrology. Both the questions of Crum and Worrell on the issue, and Bell’s defence of the focus of Papyrology on Greek texts, are instructive for the history of the discipline. This exchange took place in the context of the lead-up to the 5th International Congress of Papyrolog…

    This article discusses Christianity in Egypt from its origins down to the martyrdoms under Diocletian in the early fourth century. It looks at three key areas: the establishment of the church community and hierarchy in Alexandria, the manifestation of Christianity in the chora, and the Roman government's response to Christianity. The period closes with the development of the monastic tradition, one of Egypt's major contributions to Christianity a…
