Album de Paléographie Copte pour servir à I'Introduction Paléographique des “Actes des Martyrs de I Égypte.”

Abstract

IN all the wide range of subjects connected with archæology, it would perhaps be difficult to find one so little studied as that the name of which stands at the head of this article. It is not that it is unimportant; on the contrary, it is most important; it cannot be said to be uninteresting, for the most elementary study of the subject shows it to possess considerable attractions for the philologist, historian, and antiquary. The little interest which, until the last few years, has been shown in matters relating to the Coptic language and literature is probably to be attributed to the fact that printed Coptic texts are scarce, and that the comparatively few manuscripts which exist are scattered throughout the libraries of Europe.
