Description and Table of Contents
Description
An edition and translation of a trilingual manuscript recording the rite
of a medieval liturgical procession at the White Monastery (Dayr al-Anba
Shinudah) in Upper Egypt, accompanied by two introductions. Primarily in
Coptic, with selected sections in Greek and Arabic, the original text is
preserved in the Bibliotheque nationale in Paris (BN Copte 68), and it
includes rubrics of biblical passages and a sermon by Shenoute meant to
be read at different points during the procession. The first
introduction situates the manuscript in relation to the history,
archaeology, and ritual practice of the monastery. The second
introduction provides a technical description of the manuscript and of
the editorial methods used in producing the edition. The introductions,
edition, and translation are supplemented by tables with selected
images, an index of biblical citations, and a bibliography.
