This book is a fascinating glimpse into Coptic Christianity through the study of a 14th-century Sahidic Psalter, exploring the intersection of biblical text and its complex historical and linguistic contexts within the larger history of Christianity. The author provides a rigorous edition of Psalm 53 from a Sahidic manuscript and through its detailed analysis offers new insights into the forms and substance of Coptic Sahidic.
