The word “Coptic”, which is derived from the Greek word for Egypt, stands for the local Egyptians from a Greek perspective as opposed to the Greeks, Romans and Arabs who migrated into Egypt. The meaning of the word has encountered a certain degree of restriction through theology which exclusively refers to the Egyptians of Christian belief. Today, the term “Coptic” mainly refers to the language, i.e. the last language stage of the Egyptian language. Furthermore, recent research concentrates on the continuity of ancient Egyptian ideas and customs. This book is intended to be an introduction to Coptic culture: contributions on history, theology, literature, music, archaeology, and the history of science elucidate this largely unnoticed culture.
English Summary: The word “Coptic”, which is derived from the Greek word for Egypt, stands for the local Egyptians from a Greek perspective as opposed to the Greeks, Romans and Arabs who migrated into Egypt. The meaning of the word has encountered a certain degree of restriction through theology which exclusively refers to the Egyptians of Christian belief. Today, the term “Coptic” mainly refers to the language, i.e. the last language stage of the Egyptian language. Furthermore, recent research concentrates on the continuity of ancient Egyptian ideas and customs. This book is intended to be an introduction to Coptic culture: contributions on history, theology, literature, music, archaeology, and the history of science elucidate this largely unnoticed culture. German Description: Das Wort “koptisch”, das vom griechischen Wort fur Agypten hergeleitet wird, bezeichnet aus griechischer Sicht die einheimischen Agypter, im Gegensatz zu den in Agypten eingewanderten Griechen, Romern und Arabern. Eine Bedeutungseinengung hat das Wort durch die Theologie erfahren, die damit ausschliesslich die Agypter christlichen Glaubens meint. Heute wird der Begriff “koptisch” v. a. auf die Sprache bezogen, d. h. die letzte Sprachstufe der agyptischen Sprache. In der letzten Zeit konzentriert sich die Forschung daruber hinaus auf das Weiterleben altagyptischer Vorstellungen und Brauche. Das vorliegende Buch versteht sich als Einfuhrung in die koptische Kultur: Beitrage zu Geschichte, Theologie, Literatur, Musik, Archaologie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte beleuchten diese weitgehend unbeachtete Kultur.
