Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 1: "Christianity and monasticism have flourished along the Nile Valley in the Sohag region of Upper Egypt from as early as the fourth century until the present day. The contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic civilization in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Sohag over the past seventeen hundred years. Many of the studies center on the person and legacy of the great Coptic saint, Shenoute the Archimandrite (348–466 ce), looking at his preserved writings, his life, his place in Pachomian monasticism, his relations with the patriarchs in Alexandria, and the life in his monastic system. Other studies deal with the art, architecture, and archaeology of the two great monasteries that he founded and the archaeological and artistic heritage of the region."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book The A to Z of the Coptic Church written by Gawdat Gabra and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first century, Saint Mark brought Christianity to Egypt and in so doing, formed the basis for the Coptic Orthodox Church. Today, Copts, members of the Coptic Church, compromise the largest Christian Community in the Middle East. The Coptic Church is more than 19 centuries old and has produced thousands of texts and biblical and theological studies. During the last half of the 20th century, however, economic and political discrimination has forced between 400,000 and one million Copts to emigrate from Egypt, with the majority settling in North America and Australia. The A to Z of the Coptic Church details the history of one of the oldest Christian churches. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and more than 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, organizations, and structures; the theology and practices of the church; its literature and liturgy; and monasteries and churches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt, the birthplace of communal monasticism, has a rich store of monasteries and monastic art. Coptic Monasteries takes the reader on a tour of the best preserved and most significant of these ancient religious centers, documenting in exhaustive detail the richness and the glory of the Coptic heritage. An informative introduction by Tim Vivian brings to life the early Christian era, with background information on the origins of the Coptic Church as well as its rites and ceremonies, sketches of some of monasticism's founding figures, and accounts of some of the difficulties they faced, from religious schism to nomadic attacks. Gawdat Gabra's expert commentary, complemented by almost one hundred full-color photographs of newly restored wall paintings and architectural features, covers monasteries from Aswan to Wadi al-Natrun. Ranging across a thousand years of history, Gabra's observations will make any reader an expert on the composition and content of some of Egypt's most outstanding religious art, the salient architectural features of each monastery, as well as the ongoing process of restoration that has returned much of their original vibrancy to these works. A unique and invaluable historical record, Coptic Monasteries is equally an in-depth, on-the-spot guide to these living monuments or an armchair trip back in time to the roots of one of the world's oldest Christian traditions.

Excerpt: ...(M) in the wall inside also plainly marks the position. Whether there was even a north aisle door is very doubtful. Outside there are no signs of it: inside the floor has been raised more than three feet above the nave-floor: and though I N PART OF CHOIR OR TRANSEPT there is a recess in the wall which might have been saved in blocking a doorway, there is not evidence enough to decide the question. I think, however, that a comparison of the plan with that of the White Monastery near Suhag in Upper Egypt, will settle the fact that the western apsidal chamber in the one case as in the other was either a chapel or a baptistery, and the probabilities are very largely in favour of the former. In the plan of the White Monastery a north aisle door is simply impossible to imagine, and there is definite evidence for the altar in this part of the narthex. Similarly, it is almost indisputable that the apsidal chamber at Abu Sargah was anciently a chapel, and that the original entrance to it was southward from the central part of the narthex, and not westward from the street. It was doubtless this chapel into which the newly-baptised were taken to receive their first communion. The general shape of the church is, or was, a nearly regular oblong, and its general structure is basilican. It consists of narthex, nave, north and south aisle, choir, and three altars eastward each in its own chapel: of these the central and southern chapels are apsidal, the northern is square-ended. On plan Abu Sargah much resembles a type common among the Syrian churches of the sixth and seventh centuries, such as that of Kalb Luzah, Turmanin, or Al Barah1: but these Syrian churches differ from the Coptic in beingbuilt of hewn stone, with windows and wide arches, and above...
