This article introduces a new research dedicated to the study of Coptic bookbinding structures initiated within the ‘PAThs’ project and illustrates the expected results. In particular, it aims to provide a preliminary census of the extant materials, consisting of 208 items, dated between the fourth and the eleventh century, that are scattered among European and extra-European collections. This previously neglected material will permit the elaboration of a comprehensive study on the bookbinding of Coptic manuscripts. It also has the extraordinary potential to open new research perspectives on the book production of the late antique and early mediaeval era.

Abstract

This article introduces a new research dedicated to the study of Coptic bookbinding structures initiated within the ‘PAThs’ project and illustrates the expected results. In particular, it aims to provide a preliminary census of the extant materials, consisting of 208 items, dated between the fourth and the eleventh century, that are scattered among European and extra-European collections. This previously neglected material will permit the elaboration of a comprehensive study on the bookbinding of Coptic manuscripts. It also has the extraordinary potential to open new research perspectives on the book production of the late antique and early mediaeval era.
