Nubica
Studies in the History and Epigraphy of the Middle Nile Region in Christian Times
By (author) A. Lajtar
The volume comprises eight studies on Christian Nubia. Their common denominator is that they are based on written sources generated by the Christian culture of the middle Nile region. Among them are republications and reinterpretations of inscribed materials known for a long time, first editions of textual finds made in the 1990s and 2000s, and more general studies dealing with the history and culture of the Christian Nubian Kingdom of Makuria, its political and social institutions, Church, and literacy. Of special importance are the long chapters about bishops of the Makurian Church and literary education in Christian Nubia, collecting all available source material on these topics and analyzing it against the background of the history and culture of Eastern Christianity.
