The Rediscovery of Shenoute: Studies in Honor of Stephen Emmel


Add your own review!

Overview

Stephen Emmel, professor at the University of Münster since 1996, has devoted much of his work to researching the manuscript tradition of the works composed by the Egyptian archimandrite Shenoute (4th/5th c.), the most prolific Coptic author and crucial for the study of the language. Thanks to a masterful reconstruction of the Shenoutean corpus, from a hundred witnesses, all fragmentary and dispersed, he made this research make considerable progress, which opened the way to studies on the content of the works and the history of monasticism during this period. In homage to these pioneering works, and to S. Emmel’s stimulating leadership, this volume brings together twenty-five contributions which illustrate the variety of approaches and issues in the study of Shenoute’s sermons and the manuscripts transmitting them: Bible, liturgy, magic, patristics, history, hagiography, philology, codicology, and even archeology are all fields affected by this collection. Stephen Emmel, professeur à l’université de Münster depuis 1996, a consacré une grande partie de ses travaux à la recherche sur la tradition manuscrite des œuvres de l’archimandrite égyptien Chénouté (4e/5e s.), auteur copte le plus prolixe et le plus important pour l’étude de la langue. Grâce à une magistrale reconstruction du corpus chénoutien, à partir d’une centaine de témoins, tous fragmentaires et dispersés, il a fait faire à cette recherche des progrès considérables, qui ont ouvert la voie à des études sur le contenu des œuvres et l’histoire du monachisme à cette période. En hommage à ces travaux pionniers, et au stimulant «leadership» exercé par S. Emmel, ce volume regroupe vingt-cinq contributions qui illustrent la variété des approches et des enjeux de l’étude des sermons de Chénouté et des manuscrits qui les transmettent : Bible, liturgie, magie, patristique, histoire, hagiographie, philologie, codicologie, et même archéologie, sont autant de domaines concernés par ce recueil.
