Christianity and monasticism have flourished along the Nile Valley
in the Aswan region of Upper Egypt and in what was once Nubia, from
as early as the fourth century until the present day. The
contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology
from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic
civilization in Aswan and Nubia over the past centuries. The
complexity of Christian identity in Nubia, as distinct from Egypt,
is examined in the context of church ritual and architecture. Many
of the studies explore Coptic material culture: inscriptions, art,
architecture, and archaeology; and language and literature. The
archaeological and artistic heritage of monastic sites in Edfu,
Aswan, Makuria, and Kom Ombo are highlighted, attesting to their
important legacies in the region.
