Coptic is the final stage of the ancient Egyptian language, written
in an alphabet derived primarily from Greek instead of hieroglyphs.
It borrows some vocabulary from ancient Greek, and it was used
primarily for writing Christian scriptures and treatises. There is
no uniform Coptic language, but rather six major dialects. Unlike
previous grammars that focus on just two of the Coptic dialects,
this volume, written by senior Egyptologist James P. Allen,
describes the grammar of the language in each of the six major
dialects. It also includes exercises with an answer key, a
chrestomathy, and an accompanying dictionary, making it suitable
for teaching or self-guided learning as well as general reference.
