COPTIC SUMMER SCHOOL

 

Rome, 4-15 July, 2022

 

 

The programme of the Coptic Summer School is designed to provide qualified students, scholars and people passionate about ancient religious history with a well-founded understanding of Coptic language (mainly the Sahidic variety) through an introduction to Coptic grammar or a careful reading of some selected literary sources.

 

 

SUMMER SCHOOL COURSES (duration of each course: 2 weeks)

 

 

1. Introduction to Sahidic Coptic is designed to cover all of the basic elements of Sahidic Coptic grammar, and to build a basic vocabulary (Vittorio Secco, Facoltà Valdese di Teologia, Rome)

 

2. Reading Coptic Texts involves actually reading and exploring a selection of Coptic sources, ranging from Nag Hammadi Library to Manichaean and ancient hagiographical texts
