Allen offers a series of inscriptions from Palestine copied by the Rev. Dr. Selah Merrill in the years I875-77, in the course of journeys undertaken under the auspices of the American Palestine Exploration Society.

This book examines the function and development of the cult of saints in Coptic Egypt, focusing primarily on the material provided by the texts forming the Coptic hagiographical tradition of the early Christian martyr Philotheus of Antioch, and more specifically, the Martyrdom of St Philotheus of Antioch (Pierpont Morgan M583). This Martyrdom is a reflection of a once flourishing cult which is attested in Egypt by rich textual and material evidence. This text enjoyed great popularity not only in Egypt, but also in other countries of the Christian East, since his dossier includes texts in Coptic, Georgian, Ethiopic, and Arabic.

In this study, Haneberg focuses on three prominent authors of the Church of the East: Theodore of Mopsuestia, Narsai, and Babai the Great. He includes three short poems from each author in vocalized Syriac together with a German translation.

The Journal of the Canadian Society for Coptic Studies is the publication of the research papers presented in the Annual Symposium of the Society at the University of Toronto. The papers cover different aspects of Coptic Studies.
