It presents the edition and translation, with extensive        commentaries, of six previously unedited texts, all preserved in Middle        Arabic. The author argues that the literary tradition around the        monastery of Naqlun evolved in about the eleventh century, a period in        which the monastery experienced a revival. The texts recall the memory        of great saints from the past, among whom Saint Antony, and convey a new        view of the Christian landscape of this region.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546327621975,"sku":"9789042936577","price":89.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-legend-of-saint-aur-and-the-monastery-of-naqlun-the-copto-arabic-texts-9789042936577","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
