Coptic Manuscripts

Coptic manuscripts are ancient texts written in the Coptic language, which is the last stage of the Egyptian language and uses the Greek alphabet with some added characters. They date back to the early centuries of Christianity and include religious, literary, and philosophical works. These manuscripts provide valuable insight into early Christian thought, practices, and the history of Egypt. Many are found in the form of papyrus scrolls or codices and reflect the cultural and spiritual life of Coptic Christians, especially in the context of their significant contributions to literature and theology.
