Egypt, the birthplace of communal monasticism, has a rich store of monasteries and monastic art. Coptic Monasteries takes the reader on a tour of the best preserved and most significant of these ancient religious centers, documenting in exhaustive detail the richness and the glory of the Coptic heritage.An informative introduction by Tim Vivian brings to life the early Christian era, with background information on the origins of the Coptic Church as well as its rites and ceremonies, sketches of some of monasticisms founding figures, and accounts of some of the difficulties they faced, from religious schism to nomadic attacks.Gawdat Gabras expert commentary, complemented by almost one hundred fullcolor photographs of newly restored wall paintings and architectural features, covers monasteries from Aswan to Wadi alNatrun. Ranging across a thousand years of history, Gabras observations will make any reader an expert on the composition and content of some of Egypts most outstanding religious art, the salient architectural features of each monastery, as well as the ongoing process of restoration that has returned much of their original vibrancy to these works.A unique and invaluable historical record, Coptic Monasteries is equally an indepth, onthespot guide to these living monuments or an armchair trip back in time to the roots of one of the worlds oldest Christian traditions.
