Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature
Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature
An exhaustive digital Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature
provides a new comprehensive perspective on the spread and development
of Coptic literature and manuscript culture. This versatile tool allows
detailed and focused research and correlation of chronological, regional
and thematic data. It also illustrates the relationship between
settlements uncovered by the archaeological and topographical
investigations and intellectual activity revealed in manuscripts.
The
Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature is based on a central web
database will be continuously updated in the future. The database is
composed of seven fundamental parts (entities), dedicated to Places,
Manuscripts, Works, Authors, Titles, Colophons, and Collections. Each
part addresses specific issues and follows its own methodological
guidelines and descriptive protocols which are closely linked to each
other in a network pattern that draws it strength from these links. The
principal aim is to provide the literary and manuscript tradition with a
sound archaeological and geographical context and vice-versa.
The Atlas
gives full access to the main database and provides different types of
search experience, from the easiest (and easy to perform) to the most
refined and granular.
To help and guide users towards interesting
research results some default search filters are prepared and made
available, ready to be run and visualised. These “Saved queries” are
available for single parts and for geographic data visualisation.
