"This book appears in conjunction with the reopening of the renovated and reinstalled Coptic Museum by Hosni Mubarak, President of Egypt, on June 25, 2006, following a lengthy closure in the aftermath of the 1992 earthquake."--Preface, p. ix
"Egypt's Coptic Church is one of the oldest in the world, with a cultural tradition dating back two millennia, during which time churches have been built and a variety of distinctive art forms have flourished. The world's largest and most exquisite collection of Coptic artifacts is now housed in the Coptic Museum, founded in Old Cairo in 1908. Here for the first time, in this lavishly illustrated book, more than 130 of the greatest treasures of the Coptic Museum have been beautifully photographed to present an overview of this rich artistic heritage."--BOOK JACKET
