Nubian Voices : Studies in Christian Nubian Culture Hardback
Edited by A. Lajtar, A. Lajtar
Part of the Journal of Juristic Papyrology Supplements series
Hardback
Description
The book is a collection of articles dealing with various aspects of medieval Nubian literacy.
It contains eleven articles by an international group of scholars, representing different areas of language studies (Greek and Latin epigraphy, Coptology, Old Nubian studies).
The articles contain both editions of new textual finds and reconsiderations of well-known sources.
The chronology of the texts discussed in the book spans a few hundred years of medieval Nubian history (from the 7th until the 15th century) and their topographical distribution covers a large part of the Middle Nile Valley (from Qasr Ibrim in the north to Banganarti in the south) and beyond (northern Kordofan).
The typological variety of the sources, with epitaphs, sepulchral crosses, legal documents, visitors' inscriptions, and dipinti on pottery, provides an insight into the richness of the Christian Nubian civilization.
