Coptic Perspectives on Late Antiquity (Variorum Collected Studies)
Description:
The transitions from Antiquity to the Middle Ages continue to demand explanation; in the case of Egypt there is the added question of why the Coptic language died out following the Arab conquests. In these studies Dr MacCoull draws on the extensive papyrological evidence, in both Coptic and Greek, to explore the Egypt of the 6th-8th centuries, its culture, religion and society. One group of articles focuses on the figure of the lawyer-poet Dioscorus of Aphrodito; in others she examines the adjustments made by Christian Egyptians as they became a minority under Muslim rule, as well as the methodologies of studying this society. Les differents passages de l’Antiquité au Moyen Age nécessitent encore un certain nombre d’explications; dans le cas de l’Egypte, s’ajoute la question de l’extinction de la langue copte à la suite des conquêtes arabes. Au cours de ces études, le Dr MacCoull s’appuie sur l’abondante documentation papyrologique, en langue grecque et copte, afin d’explorer l’Egypte du 6e au 8e siècle, sa culture, sa religion et sa société. Un groupe d’articles se concentre sur le personnage du poète juriste Dioscore d’Aphrodito; d’ailleurs, elle examine la façon dont les Chrétiens égyptiens se sont adaptés alors qu’ils devenaient une minorité sous l’empire des musulmans, ainsi que la méthodologie relative à l’étude de cette société.
