In seventeenth-century Europe, the Copts, or the Egyptian members
of the Church of Alexandria, were widely believed to hold the key
to an ancient wisdom and an ancient theology. Their language was
thought to lead to the deciphering of the hieroglyphs and their
Church to retain traces of early Christian practices, as well as
early Egyptian customs. This book, the first full-length study of
the subject, discusses the attempts of Catholic missionaries to
force the Church of Alexandria into union with the Church of Rome
and the slow accumulation of knowledge of Coptic beliefs,
undertaken by Catholics and Protestants. It ends with a survey of
the study of the Coptic language in the West, and of the uses to
which it was put by Biblical scholars, antiquarians, theologians
and Egyptologists.
