PAThs: Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths. An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature. Literary Texts in Their Original Context. Production, Copying, Usage, Dissemination and Storage
PAThs is an ERC granted project (Advanced Grant 2015, no. 687567),
whose goal is to provide an in-depth diachronic understanding and
effective representation of the geography of Coptic literary production
and in particular of the corpus of literary writings, almost exclusively
of religious contents, produced in Egypt between the 3rd and the 13th centuries in the Coptic language.
PAThs (complete title: “Tracking
Papyrus and Parchment Paths. An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic
Literature. Literary Texts in Their Original Context. Production,
Copying, Usage, Dissemination and Storage”) takes an original and pluridisciplinary approach, combining philology, codicology, palaeography, archaeology,
archaeometry, and digital humanities,
in order to explore the process of production, copying, usage,
dissemination, and storage of Coptic works in relation to the concrete
geographical contexts of origin of both the texts themselves and their
related writing supports.
This page aims at introducing to the PAThs project and redirecting you to its main scientific outcome that is the Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature,
where more information about the structure of the project, its
finalities and methodology are provided, while here users can be
informed about the scientific activities of the project (missions to
Egypt, conferences, workshops, etc.), the publications, and the ongoing
collaborations.
PAThs is not a project that emerges ex nihilo,
but it takes advantage of some successful initiatives whose results
will constitute one of the bases of the research work, although they do
not overlap with the goals of this new project. The Corpus dei Manoscritti Copti Letterari (CMCL) is the most important of these projects.
