VI. INTERNATIONALER KOPTOLOGENKONGRESS
Münster (20.-26. Juli 1996)
Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster
2. Rundschreiben [2nd Announcement]

Inzwischen liegen Zusagen der Hauptreferenden bzw. Vorsitzenden der 15 Sektionen vor:
Archäologie (Grossmann),
Kunst (van Moorsel),
Literatur (Orlandi),
Bibel (Nagel),
Linguistik (Shisha-Halevy),
Arabische Literatur (den Heijer),
Kodikologie und Paläographie (Emmel),
Papyrologie (Krause),
Liturgie (Brakmann),
Kirchengeschichte (Baumeister),
Mönchtum (Goehring),
Gnosis (Pearson),
Manichäismus (Funk),
Griechische (byzantinische) Papyrologie (Bagnall)
Christliches Nubien (Godlewski).

Münster ist nicht nur mit der Eisenbahn zu erreichen, sondern auch mit dem Flugzeug. Der Flughafen Münster/Osnabrück hat soeben ein neues Flughafengebäude erhalten. Der Luftverkehr wird laufend ausgebaut, z.B. gibt es bereits Direktflüge von London und Paris.

Inzwischen wurden für Kongressteilnehmer verbilligte Zimmer in einem Hotel und in einem christlichen Heim angemietet.
Die Preise im Hotel betragen (einschliesslich Frühstück) für Einzelzimmer mit Dusche/WC, Tel. und TV: 70 DM, für das Doppelzimmer 100 DM.
Im christlichen Heim kostet (einschliesslich Frühstück) ein Einzelzimmer mit Dusche/WC: 60 DM, das Doppelzimmer 100 DM.
Vom Tagungsgebäude sind Hotel und das Heim in etwa 15 Minuten Fussmarsch, wenn auch in verschiedener Richtung, zu erreichen. Reservierungen werden in der Reihenfolge des Eingangs im Kongresssekretariat vorgenommen. Die Kapazität beider Unterkünfte beträgt etwa 180 Personen.

Daneben gibt es eine Vielzahl weiterer Hotels, in denen ein Einzelzimmer 100 DM und mehr kostet. Da die Anzahl der Kongressteilnehmer nicht bekannt ist, kann der Versuch, in weiteren Hotels eine Reduzierung der Übernachtungskosten zu erreichen, nicht unternommen werden. Eine grössere Preisreduzierung ist nur möglich, wenn ein weiteres Hotel vollständig angemietet wird.

COPTIC COURSES

This is a list of academic institutions where Coptic language, or literature, or art, or archaeology, or theology, etc., are taught. The colleagues are kindly requested to send information on this subject. The best way to send information is e-mail; short of that, please send a typescript so good as to be easily read by a scanner. This will very much speed the work. The list will be published periodically in the Newsletter.

The Editor has initially listed the courses of which he had become aware. This information is far from complete and up to date, but it will become hopefully so, with the help of the colleagues. Places are also mentioned, where courses might be held, in order to solicit a statement from the colleague mentioned. In this case the item is closed by an interrogation mark. When the information is supplied by the responsible(s), it is accompanied by the reference to the year when the information was received.

The list is in alphabetical order of place.

Amsterdam (Netherlands), Free University, Theological Faculty: Dr. J. Helderman gives the following university courses of Coptic language each year:
Coptic I (introduction, grammar and ability to read Sahidic Bible texts and other Sahidic texts) in two semesters
Coptic II (Sub)Achmimic texts (Nag Hammadi), Bohairic grammar and texts, epigraphy, again in two semesters.
(Dr. J. Helderman, Amperestraat 46, 1171 BV Badhoevedorp, Nederlands, 18 november 1993.)

Ann Arbor (Michigan, USA), University of Michigan, Dept. of Near Eastern Studies. Courses taught by Paul Mirecki:
Introduction to Coptic Language and Papyrology, Two years: Winter 1986 - Spring 1988. More recently...?

COPTIC CENTRES

The Editor intends to keep a list of the Coptic Centres (i.e. cultural Centres managed by Coptic people, or people of Coptic origin) outside of Egypt. The colleagues are kindly requested to send information on this subject. The best way to send information is e-mail; short of that, please send a typescript so good as to be easily read by a scanner. This will very much speed the work.

The list will be updated and published periodically in the Newsletter.

Essays on Coptic Art and Culture (Leiden)

Its history goes back to 1991 when Leiden University started the project Egyptian-Netherlands Cooperation for Coptic Art Preservation (ENCCAP). One of its most important aims is to provide information on Early Christian and in particular Coptic art and culture to members of the Coptic community. During the campaigns of the ENCCAP staff-members in Egypt they noticed that many publications in French and German were not accessible to their students. To correct this situation we decided to provide information in English as well as in Arabic.

This Initiative is not new. In 1990 the Netherlands Institute of Archaeology and Arabic Studies in Cairo published Coptic Art and Culture, in which contributions by Dutch and foreign scholars were collected. This compilation is available in English and in Arabic, and Essays on Coptic Art and Culture has to be considered a more modest continuation of this unique conception.

This first issue consists mostly of revised editions of articles by young scholars from Leiden University, which have already been published or are about to be published in other annals. Although ``new'' articles will appear in the future issues, a part of the contributions will continue to reflect published works by other authors. At present, Maud Mommers is revising the French publications on Coptic wall-paintings by Jules Leroy. This, incidentally, offers the possibility to add more recent informatlon. Furthermore we intend to keep our readers informed about recent publications - books and articles - on Coptic studies.

This annal, which we intend to publish at least twice a year, will reach our students in Egypt, mainly monks and students of the Institute for Coptic Studies in Cairo who are attending the courses of the ENCCAP-staff. However, we assume that colleagues active in the field of Coptic studies will be interested as well. We hope to stimulate them to write short articles about their subjects of study. Our Coptic students will certainly be pleased to read about the progress in the study of their cultural heritage, and to our contributors we also offer the unique opportunity to have an article translated into Arabic. We also offer this to publish short papers to our students in Egypt. We are willing to give them all scientific and linguistic help with the preparation of their contributions.

Finally we should like to express our gratitude to all persons and Institutions who contributed to this publication. Financial support was provided by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Directorate-General International Cooperation (DGIS), the Stichting Sonnewijck (Sonnewijck Foundation), the Hermanusstichting and the Saint Antonius Stichting through the Stichting Christelilke Kunst en Cultuur in het Nijldal (CKCN; Foundation Christian Art and Culture in the Nile Valley). Apart from the authors, Lucinda Dirven, Nicole Mulder and Joris Kila, we should mention the names of Anneke de Laaf and Rosemary Dobson, who assisted with the English language, and Anton Mossaad, our Arabic translator.

Egyptological fieldwork directory

From: vdplas@cc.ruu.nl (CCER)
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 1995 16:55:09 +0100

We are proud to announce that the initiative has been taken to start an electronic directory of Egyptological fieldwork on the World Wide Web (WWW). The aim of this directory is to provide scholars with *on-line* and up-to-date information about past, present and future excavations in Egypt. The obvious advantage of having an electronic fieldwork directory available on the WWW is the fact that information is easily added or modified, which allows for faster updating than with conventional media. Moreover, the directory will be made fully searchable to allow access to the documentation in various ways.

Each entry in the fieldwork list contains the following information:

1. Site and Location in Egypt (eg. Western Delta)
2. Description (eg. survey, excavations, epigraphic)
3. Dating of the remains found (eg. Predynastic settlement, OK tomb)
4. Year commenced and duration
5. Participating institutions
5. Director
6. Contact address in and out of the field
7. Usual time work conducted in Egypt (eg March to May)
8. Publications mentioning the project (includes electronic articles!)

For instance, here is a contribution by Nigel Strudwick:

Site: Western Thebes, Sheikh abd el Qurna, TT99
Location: Luxor, West Bank
Description: Documentation with a view to publication of the tomb of
Sennefer (TT99).
Dating of remains found: Tomb 18th dynasty, later burials of 25th dynasty
Year commenced: 1992 Duration: aks Allah
Institutions: University of Cambridge UK
Work conducted in Egypt usually during: Generally December-January
Director: Dr N.C. Strudwick
Address: Trinity College, Cambridge CB2 1TQ
Publications mentioning the project: Article in Egyptian Archaeology 5 (1994). Article by N. Strudwick on-line on WWW.

Especially the latter entry is interesting here, since it contains a hypertext pointer to an electronic paper written by Nigel Strudwick about the 1994 season's work in TT99.

How promising the initiative of an electronic fieldwork directory is, however, it doesn't grow by itself, nor do we have loads of fieldwork information already electronically available. The fact is that we need to build this thing from scratch. We are now at the point to lay the first stones of our pyramid, so to speak. Because the community of scholars that are connected electronically is larger than ever, we would this way like to cordially invite you to join us in our effort to build this directory. If you are involved in any way in any type of fieldwork research in Egypt we would be very grateful if you would contribute the above mentioned structured information about your fieldwork project to our list. If you wish you may enter the information in the following HTML-structure:

Site: put the site here
Location: put the location here
Description: put the description here
Dating of remains found: put the dating here
Year commenced: put the year here Duration: put the duration here
Institutions: put the institution here
Work conducted in Egypt usually during: put the time interval here
Director: put the name here
Address:

put the address here
Publications mentioning the project:put the publications here

Even if you yourself at present don't have access to the World Wide Web, it would still be valuable to have your contribution. Those who already have access to the World Wide Web can access our home page through
http://www.ccer.ggl.ruu.nl/ccer/ccer.html
The preliminary fieldwork directory page is found at:
http://www.ccer.ggl.ruu.nl/ccer/fieldw.html

Finally, there are also a lot of colleagues out there who don't have access to the Internet at all, but who could also contribute to the directory. Should you have access to such people, you might ask them to provide us with the necessary information as well. In that case you could act as intermediary.
