We are pleased to inform you that the “Digital Edition of the Coptic Sahidic Old Testament” research project at the Göttingen Academy, in collaboration with the Seminar for Egyptology and Coptic Studies at the University of Göttingen, will soon begin a lecture series entitled “Written and Material Culture of Christian Egypt”

(see https://coptot.manuscriptroom.com/lectures).

The lectures will be held monthly by established scholars in the field and will focus on different topics related to the Christian communities in Egypt from the second century CE until the Ottoman period. The lecture series will be held in online format as Zoom webinars. While the audience can attend the lectures free of charge, registration is required.
