The module introduces students to the language and culture of Coptic Egypt. Coptic is a primary channel to understand the role of Christianity in the fabric of Egyptian culture from the 1st century AD until the present day. It is the latest phase of Ancient Egyptian language and is written in a combination of Greek and some additional letters. The module familiarizes students with Coptic grammar, script, and texts. Discussions in class revolve around Egyptian Christianity in the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods and the relevance of Coptic heritage, both written and built, in the modern world.
