Abstract

This book examines the function and development of the cult of saints in Coptic Egypt, focusing primarily on the material provided by the texts forming the Coptic hagiographical tradition of the early Christian martyr Philotheus of Antioch, and more specifically, the Martyrdom of St Philotheus of Antioch (Pierpont Morgan M583). This Martyrdom is a reflection of a once flourishing cult which is attested in Egypt by rich textual and material evidence. This text enjoyed great popularity not only in Egypt, but also in other countries of the Christian East, since his dossier includes texts in Coptic, Georgian, Ethiopic, and Arabic.

Abstract

"In Volume 1 of this series, Stephen Davis contended that the themes of "apostolicity, martyrdom, monastic patronage, and theological resistance" were determinative for the cultural construction of Egyptian church leadership in late antiquity. Volume 2, The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt, shows that the medieval Coptic popes (641-1517 CE) were regularly portrayed as standing in continuity with their saintly predecessors; however, at the same time, they were active in creating something new, the Coptic Orthodox Church, a community that struggled to preserve a distinctive life and witness within the new Islamic world order. Building on recent advances in the study of sources for Coptic church history, the present volume aims to show how portrayals of the medieval popes provide a window into the religious and social life of their community"--

Abstract

Minorité chrétienne d’Égypte, les coptes - environ 6 % de la population - pâtissent à différents niveaux du régime nassérien (1954-1970) qui, malgré des principes laïcs, laisse se développer l’islamisation de la société. Quelles stratégies les coptes mettent-ils alors en œuvre pour préserver leur identité ? Autour de quelles images se fédèrent-ils pour faire face à leur marginalisation accrue dans le pays ? Dès les années 1950, alors que la communauté entame un repli sur elle-même, se développe un discours rassembleur sur l’enracinement immémorial des coptes en terre d’Égypte. Il est fondé sur la toute-puissance des saints de l’Église copte et particulièrement celle de Cyrille VI dont le patriarcat (1959-1971) est perçu comme une reviviscence de la période chrétienne de l’Égypte (IIe-VIIe siècle). Les «apparitions» de la Vierge en 1968, un an après la défaite de la guerre des Six Jours, déplacent des foules immenses dans la banlieue du Caire. Ces événements marquent l’aboutissement d’un processus que Brigitte Voile analyse à travers la littérature hagiographique copte des années 1960, désormais répandue dans l’édition profane et la presse. Dans un contexte où la liberté de parole est compromise, cette littérature devient le réceptacle des représentations collectives des coptes. Mais demeure-t-elle fidèle à la tradition dont elle se réclame ?
