An under-studied aspect of Coptic culture is the remains of beautiful Coptic textiles. In this amply illustrated museum art book, black and white and color photographs of these rare artifacts appear. The Brooklyn Museum possesses one of the major collections of Coptic art in the Western world. Fabrics seldom survive from the ancient world due to the ravages of time and climate. In this unique presentation of Coptic antiquities, the material culture of the Nile Valley is wonderfully displayed. Textiles dating from the Late Roman period up into Islamic times, from the context of native Egyptian Christians, are ably described and generously illustrated in this rare edition. With a text written by a recognized expert in both textiles and ancient Egypt, this book is full of information as well as nearly lost artifacts. 38 pieces are presented in the collection, along with a chronology, glossary, and bibliography for those who wish to learn more about this intriguing aspect of material culture. |
|  | The Coming of the Impassible God: Tracing a Dilemma in Christian Theology by Joseph M. Hallman
This book describes the development of the Christian understanding of God from the second to the eighth century as witnessed by major theologians who gradually realized that the Incarnate Word made flesh was not the God of the philosophers. They helped construct the great dogmas of the Christological councils. Beginning with the Apologists and ending with Maximus Confessor, the theological tradition overcame the notion of impassible deity in favor of the humble God of Christian faith, the Word made flesh. |
|  | The Catholicos of the East and His People by William Henry Browne Maclean, Arthur John
Describes the life and customs, both ancient and modern, of the modern Assyrians (“Nestorians”) who formed in the nineteenth century a remarkable outpost of Christianity in the Middle East. The authors rely in their descriptions on the Sunhadus, or Book of Canon Law, which governs that Church even today. |
|  | Adrian Fortescue and the Eastern Christian Churches by Anthony Dragani
Adrian Fortescue (1874-1923) was recognized as one of England’s foremost authorities on Eastern Christianity and helped to shape the English-speaking world’s understanding of the Eastern Churches. This book is a critical examination of his writings on the subject, analyzing what he said about the Eastern Christian Churches and highlighting his insights into key questions. It focuses on Fortescue’s understanding of the schisms and his thoughts as to how reunion can come about. The book concludes by comparing Fortescue's perspective to later advances in theology and historical scholarship in order to ascertain the long-term accuracy of his writings. |

Forty-three Greek and Latin inscriptions found among the collection of artifacts in the Brooklyn Museum are the object of this study. Presented in transcription and translation, each inscription is also represented with a photographic record. The classical inscriptions and the artifacts upon which they occur make up the main body of the book, but a introduction and divine name, royal name, personal and place name indices provide further useful tools. Most of the inscriptions included in the collection come from Egypt between the 6th century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. Included are public inscriptions concerning the Ptolemaic monarchs, information about religious cults and military matters. Sepulchral monuments are also included, providing information on the outlook of various segments of society toward death in the days before Christianity reached Egypt. Mummy labels and magical amulets are also represented. This volume also serves as an art book with its museum-quality photographs of the objects upon which the inscriptions appear. | |
