Egypts Coptic Church is one of the oldest in the world, encompassing two millennia of history, tradition, and culture. The Coptic Museum, founded in Old Cairo in 1908, houses the worlds largest and most exquisite collection of Coptic artifacts, representing every historical era, from the earliest Christian period to the nineteenth century. After undergoing extensive renovations and repair, the Coptic Museum is open to the public again, making this richly informative and illustrated book very timely for anyone interested in this rich artistic heritage. Structured as a guide, but fully illustrated with superb color photographs, this book suggests a simple but comprehensive itinerary through one of Egypts most fascinating museums. Taking readers through the various exhibits, this useful guidebook explains and illuminates the aesthetic and religious importance of each of the museums works on display, such as icons, stelae, sculptures, wall paintings, wooden altar screens, liturgical implements, and vestments and bible caskets. Textiles, ceramics and documents (including the Nag Hammadi Gnostic library from the fourth century, one of the most important collections of papyri in the world) provide valuable insights into the economic and social life of Egypts Copts over the last two thousand years.

I was a bit disappointed by the lack of detail in the descriptions. The illustrations are lovely, but I expected more historical context with each piece. It’s alright but could be better!

Perfect for Tourists!
I bought this book as a gift for my parents before their trip to Cairo. They found it very helpful and loved the beautiful illustrations. It made their visit to the churches so much more informative!

Delivery Delay Was Frustrating
I really wanted this guide for my trip, but it arrived a week late. The content is good once you get it, but the delay was a hassle. I wish the shipping was quicker!

Great Resource, but Lacked Detail
While the illustrations are fantastic, I found some sections lacking in depth. I was hoping for more detailed descriptions of the artifacts. Still, it's a solid overview if you're visiting the area!
