Prof. Layton taught        the history of ancient Christianity and also the Coptic language at Yale        University for forty years beginning in 1976. At that time he was        already recognized internationally as a leading figure in the        publication and study of the Coptic Gnostic texts from the Nag Hammadi        Codices and in Coptic linguistic and manuscript studies, two areas of        research that are represented in this volume by sections on Gnostic,        Valentinian, and Manichaean literature, and on Coptic language and        texts. A section on Egyptian monasticism pays tribute to Prof. Layton’s        fundamental contributions to the study of the late antique monastic        leader and Coptic author Shenoute. A final section looks north across        the Mediterranean Sea to early Chistianity in the Wider Late Roman World.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047062733143,"sku":"9789042934009","price":121.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-gnostics-to-monastics-studies-in-coptic-and-early-christianity-in-honor-of-bentley-layton-9789042934009","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
