This is a 1-day course to be held online and video recorded.

We are delighted to offer a taster day on Coptic, best known as the language and script used by the early Christians of Egypt, as well as the final phase of the ancient pharaonic language. In this 1-day taster, you will be introduced to the basics of the Coptic alphabet and grammar. By the end of the day, you will be able to read words and phrases from a wide range of ancient texts. Lectures will also introduce you to the historic and cultural contexts in which Coptic texts were written in antiquity, from religious books to daily life documents. Your tutor will help you unlock a little-known textual world comprising Coptic literature with biblical texts at its core, as well as a rich array of other Coptic writings.

NB: The course assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. Specially-prepared teaching materials will be provided by the instructor.
