Papyrologists at Work: Coptic Papyri and the History of Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt – Alain Delattre

As part of the seventh 'International Summer School in Coptic Papyrology' (held in Italy for the first time), we are pleased to invite everyone to Alain Delattre's lecture, which will be given on September 9th at 5 p.m. in the Conference Room, entitled: Papyrologists at Work: Coptic Papyri and the History of Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt.

Coptic papyrology was born almost 150 years ago, and since then the study of papyri and ostraca written in Coptic has yielded a wealth of information about Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt. The lecture will look at some of the milestones in the history of the discipline and detail the prospects and challenges facing papyrologists.

The event will be held in English, free admission with reservation on Eventbrite. Click HERE to book your place.

The lecture will be broadcast via streaming on the Museum's Facebook page and Youtube channel.
