Wadi al-Natrun, a depression in the Western Desert of Egypt, west
of the Nile Delta and 23 meters below sea level, is one of the most
important centers for the development and continued thriving of the
Coptic monastic tradition. Christianity and monasticism have
flourished there from as early as the fourth century until the
present day, when four major monasteries still flourish. The
contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology
from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic
civilization in Wadi al-Natrun over the past seventeen hundred
years. The studies center on aspects of the history and development
of monasticism in Wadi al-Natrun, as well as the art, architecture,
and archaeology of the four existing and numerous former
monasteries of the region.Contributors: Elizabeth S. Bolman,
