Summary, etc "The legacies of the Coptic Christian presence in Middle Egypt from the fourth century to the present day -- Christianity and monasticism have long flourished along the Nile in Middle Egypt, the region stretching from al-Bahnasa (Oxyrhynchus) to Dayr al-Ganadla. The contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic civilization in Middle Egypt over the past two millennia.

The artistic heritage of monastic sites in the region is highlighted, attesting to their important legacies."--Publisher's website.
