The second volume of the Catalogue general du Musee copte. Objets en metal, has been finally completed after twenty years. This long period allowed the author to deepen her knowledge in the fields concerned by an extremely diverse collection and to improve the content of the 326 entries, introducing 449 items. The edition of the texts on certain objects was not systematically included in the first volume. Thanks to the collaboration of eminent specialists, a new heading Inscription gives the Greek, Coptic, Arabic, Ge’ez, Turkish, Armenian and Slavonic texts. Following objects related to light and fire, luminaries and incense burners, as well as church treasures, the new volume contains, in the first part, liturgical items or objects with a strong Christian character: instruments consecrated or used by the clergy, ornaments for ecclesiastical vestments, crosses of all kinds, furniture, testimonies of personal piety; a section gathers forgeries produced at the beginning of the twentieth century in the Fayum. The second part includes about a hundred objects that fall into similar typologies to the previous ones but are secular: cutlery, musical instruments, basins, jugs, dishes and trays, belts.
