This volume is the first of the proceedings of the Twelfth International
Congress of Coptic Studies, organised by the IACS and held at the
Université libre de Bruxelles from 11 to 16 July 2022. It compiles the
reports presented during the plenary sessions of the event. The articles
provide a critical and bibliographic overview of recent research across
various sub-disciplines, (monasticism, liturgy, codicology and
palaeography, art history, contemporary Coptic studies, linguistics,
Nubian studies, archaeology, papyrology, Copto-Arabic studies, and
magic). Together, they reflect the richness and diversity of Coptic
studies at the dawn of the third millennium. This collection synthesises
the most significant advancements – particularly in technical and
methodological approaches – and sheds light on emerging perspectives
within the fields covered. As a testament to the vitality of these
disciplines, this volume will be an invaluable resource for anyone with
an interest in Coptic studies.
