“Teaching Coptic Language – Level I”.
Bayt Al-Sinnari is an 18th century house in the Islamic Cairo neighbourhood of
Sayeda Zeinab, and represents a splendid example of Islamic architecture and
medieval-style homes. Affiliated to the BA, it operates as a cultural outlet.
The course on Coptic language will start on 18 October runs over eight Sundays. It
aims at offering researchers and those interested in Coptic and ancient Egyptian
studies a knowledge of the Coptic language with the various phases of its
development.
The course’s first level will define Coptic language and its relation to the ancient
Egyptian language. It will also teach the Coptic alphabet and offer some grammar
fundamentals. The course requires pre-registration and is open to young men and
women above 16.
