This is the first full-length study of Demetrius of Alexandria
(189-232 ce), who generated a neglected, yet remarkable
hagiographic program that secured him a positive legacy throughout
the Middle Ages and the modern era. Drawing upon Patristic, Coptic,
and Arabic sources spanning a millennium, the analysis
contextualizes the Demetrian corpus at its various stages of
composition and presents the totality of his hagiographic corpus in
translation. This volume constitutes a definitive study of
Demetrius, but more broadly, it provides a clearly delineated
hagiographic program and charts its evolution against a backdrop of
political developments and intercommunal interactions. This
fascinating study is a useful resource for students of Demetrius
and the Church in Egypt in this period, but also for anyone working
on Early Christianity and hagiography more generally.
