La collection de textes coptes de la Bibliotheque Nationale et Universitaire de Strasbourg, qui comprend environ 2000 pieces, est presque totalement inedite. Dans cet ouvrage, qui constitue l'amorce d'un catalogue de ce fonds, sont regroupes les fragments bibliques (une cinquantaine), sur papyrus et parchemin. S'ils sont de dimensions reduites, ces fragments apportent du materiel nouveau sur deux points: (1) certains d'entre eux attestent des passages encore inedits de la version sahidique de l'Ancien Testament. (2) Les sept fragments en dialecte fayoumique (Psaumes, Daniel, Epitre aux Romains) viennent aussi enrichir la version du texte biblique dans ce dialecte (c'est particulierement interessant pour les Psaumes, pour lesquels on a maintenant des temoins substantiels dans quatre grands dialectes coptes); ils contribueront en meme temps a ameliorer la connaissance du fayoumique lui-meme, qui reste sans doute, parmi les dialectes, le plus insuffisamment decrit.

La reina del crimen victoriano vuelve a la carga. En esta novela, el detective Monk deberá indagar en un incidente familiar ocurrido dos décadas atrás. Killiam Melville tal vez sea el arquitecto más brillante de su generación. Joven, atractivo, inteligente, apasionado y con un talento casi genial, destaca por su honestidad y modestia. Sin embargo, un incidente amenaza con enturbiar esta intachable trayectoria: Melville va a ser juzgado por romper su compromiso matrimonial con Zillah Lambert, la hija de su patrón. Para su defensa, el arquitecto contacta con el prestigioso abogado Sir Oliver Rathbone, quien aceptará el caso de buen grado, aunque no tardará en arrepentirse dada la negativa de Melville a aportar razón lógica alguna que justifique su comportamiento. A medida que transcurre el juicio, Rathbone pasa del desconcierto a la certeza de que su cliente oculta un grave secreto, por lo que inicia una investigación paralela. Para ello solicita la ayuda de su colaborador habitu
