    MYSTERY AND AUTHORITY IN THE WRITINGS OF SHENOUTE1 Hugo Lundhaug MF Norwegian School of Theology If you have faith, then you have the fullness of the mystery.2 If you do not have faith, then you do not have hope in the mystery and the Lord of the Mystery. (Shenoute, And It Happened One Day, AV 234–35)3 Introduction In the fijifth century there is one fijigure who towers above all else in the history of Upper Egyptian monasticism. This fijigure is Shenoute of Atripe, who at his death around 465 had led his monastic community for an impressive period of 80 years.4 His long tenure at the helm of the White 1 It is an honour to have the opportunity to present this study of the writings of the greatest of Coptic authors, Shenoute, in appreciation of the work of Einar Thomassen, in particular his important effforts in establishing a network of younger scholars of Coptic literature in the Nordic countries and beyond, for which many of us are deeply grateful. 2 Cf. Col 1:26–27. 3 Coptic text in Louis-Théophile Lefort, “Catéchèse christologique de Chenoute,” ZÄS 80 (1955): 43. I refer to Shenoute’s writings using titles based on their incipits (as listed in Stephen Emmel, Shenoute’s Literary Corpus [2 vols.; CSCO 599–600, Subsidia 111–112; Leuven: Peeters, 2004], xviii–xxii), followed by a reference to the manuscript and page number of the White Monastery codex from which the Coptic text is taken (using the sigla established by Tito Orlandi but omitting the abbreviation MONB, for “Monasterio Bianco” [see the list in Emmel, Shenoute’s Literary Corpus, xxiii–xxiv, and the description of the codices in ibid., 111–379]).

    International Academic Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management Helwan University Volume 2, No.2, 2016 ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Challenges Facing Coptic Heritage Tourism in Egypt A Case Study On: Wadifeiran Region Jermien Hussein Abd El-Kafy Tourism Studies, Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management, Helwan University Abstract Despite the fact that Egypt owns a huge fortune of Coptic heritage sites (i.e. The Monastery of Saint Anthony, El Bagawat Necropolis, the Red Monastery and the White Monastery, etc.), heritage tourism in Egypt is known only by Pharaonic monuments. Accordingly, it is necessary to focus on the Egyptian Coptic heritage. The current paper aims at shedding light on the importance of the Egyptian Coptic heritage as a main component of the Egyptian heritage tourism as well as exploring the different challenges facing Coptic heritage in Wadi Feiran Region. Within this context, interviews were conducted with key representatives of Coptic heritage experts. It was concluded that different challenges are facing Coptic heritage in Egypt such as: there is no department of Coptology in the Egyptian universities; Coptic conservators are quite rare in Egypt; Mismanagement of Coptic heritage sites endanger them as well as Lack of security measures worsened the situation. Key words: Heritage tourism - Coptic heritage - Wadi Feiran - Challenges Facing Egyptian Coptic Heritage – Heritage conservation 1- Introduction Egypt’s heritage varies from Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Coptic and Islamic. Coptic heritage is considered one of the most important Egyptian heritage components. Coptic heritage includes all life fields; it represents people’s entity and identity. Coptic heritage is not limited to architectural heritage, but it includes Coptic music, Coptic language, Coptic calendar, Coptic literature, Coptic folklore….etc.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 22/1/2017 Accepted 3/5/2017 Abstract The present study investigates for the first time the historical bricks of The Red Monastery (west Sohag, Egypt), built about fifth century AD, which showing several aspects of brick decay. Several techniques were employed (geochemical, petrographical, mineralogical and morphological) to determine their deterioration features and provenance of the raw material as well as shed lights on the firing techniques. In addition, integration of geochemical data with multivariate statistics (i.e. Cluster Analysis, Principal Component Analyses and Linear Discriminant Analyses) were used to provide insights into the nature and provenance of the raw material. Potential geological raw materials for bricks manufacturing, were taken from modern floodplain (Nile alluvium) and calcareous clay deposits from lowland desert near the monument site, and subjected to chemical analyses, to compare them with the chemical composition of the studied bricks. Results show that the starting raw materials for bricks were probably obtained by mixing Nile alluvium (quarried from the Nile River floodplain deposits) with the possible introduction of a calcium carbonate-rich flux component as a temper.

  • An Introduction to the Red Monastery Church Elizabeth S. Bolman, Director of the USAID/ARCE Red Monastery Church Conservation Pr
    An Introduction to the Red Monastery Church Elizabeth S. Bolman, Director of the USAID/ARCE Red Monastery Church Conservation Project [An abridged version of the Introduction to The Red Monastery Church: Beauty and Asceticism in Upper Egypt, edited by Elizabeth S. Bolman. Yale University Press and the American Research Center in Egypt, 2016, xx-xxxvi. For scholarly references for the information included here, please see the Introduction to the book.] The Red Monastery Church is an extraordinary monument, a beautiful materialization of asceticism and authority. A community of Christian men made the decision a millennium and a half ago to build a large church, thus asserting the social centrality of their ascetic establishment at the Red Monastery. A significant part of that original monument and some of its major renovations still survive in astonishingly good condition, although the church has until very recently not received the renown that is its due. It was designed as a triconch basilica: a building with a rectangular nave, divided into three aisles by two rows of columns, leading to a three- lobed sanctuary. The nave, where the congregation attended religious services, is separated from the sanctuary, which was reserved for priests, by a raised platform with a screen and an interior façade wall. The basic model for the Red Monastery Church was a larger church built a few decades earlier at the nearby White Monastery. Though the trefoil design was popular in the late Roman world, no other example survives in such an excellent state of preservation. Additionally, the early Byzantine decoration of the sanctuary is almost intact and includes rich architectural sculpture, imposing figural compositions, and extensive ornamental paintings.
