Coptic

Postby IronMike » Thu Apr 16, 2020 1:02 pm

Some members of this wonderful forum are taking part in GlyphStudy's 2020 Coptic study.

From the webpage I linked above:

We will be studying “Sahidic” Coptic: the Upper Egyptian “literary” dialect of Coptic, in which the classic Coptic literature is written, as well as the Gospel of Thomas and the rest of the Nag Hammadi library.

We will be using Introduction to Sahidic Coptic by Thomas O. Lambdin, as our textbook and you will need to purchase a copy in order to participate.


I know so far Ser and I are signed up. Anyone else? Class starts on 4 May and homework will be due every other Sunday starting 17 May. Directions to sign up at the website I linked above.

Edit: fixed link and date

I have to admit, this is tempting. I'm not sure I'll have the time though.

I've long been a subscriber to Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities [link to their Youtube channel]. I've had an interest in ancient Egypt for quite a long time. Lately, they've been producing short (1-2 min) videos of certain pieces in one of their museums, with the museum director telling you a short history of the piece. It's been a lot of fun to watch.

Today's email was for a virtual tour of The Coptic Museum. I think this'll be of interest to some here. Enjoy!
