Christianity and Monasticism in Wadi Al-Natrun
International specialists in Coptology examine various aspects of Coptic civilisation in Wadi al-Natrun over the past 1700 years. Their studies centre on aspects of the history and development of monasticism in Wadi al-Natrun, as well as the art, architecture, and archaeology of the four existing and numerous former monastries of the region.
From Byzantine to Islamic Egypt
The conquest of Egypt by Islamic armies under the command of Amr ibn al-As in the seventh century transformed medieval Egyptian society. Seeking to uncover the broader cultural changes of the period by drawing on a wide array of literary and documentary sources, Maged Mikhail stresses the cultural and institutional developments that punctuated the histories of Christians and Muslims in the province under early Islamic rule. From Byzantine to Islamic Egypt traces how the largely agrarian Egyptian society responded to the influx of Arabic and Islam, the means by which the Coptic Church constructed its sectarian identity, the Islamisation of the administrative classes and how these factors converged to create a new medieval society. The result is a fascinating and essential study for scholars of Byzantine and early Islamic Egypt.
The Holy Workshop Of Virtue
Saint John the Little was a monk and hegumen of Scetis (Wadi Natrun) during the first great period of early Egyptian monasticism. The Apophthegmata preserve some fifty sayings by or about him (see CS 59, 85 '96).

John bears witness to the formative period of early Egyptian monasticism. His Life, with its emphasis on obedience and compassion, offers a lively witness to the earliest monastic traditions and to their transmission and continuing importance in the Coptic Church. This book contains an introduction to the textual history o...
Cold Aqueous Planetary Geochemistry with FREZCHEM
Written by two of the best US researchers in the field, this text investigates issues of astrobiological relevance in the context of cold aqueous planetary geochemistry. At the core of the technical chapters is the FREZCHEM model, initially developed over many years by one of the authors to quantify aqueous electrolyte properties and chemical thermodynamics at subzero temperatures. FREZCHEM is of huge relevance to scientists in a number of fields, including biogeochemists.
Egy hölgy elcsábítása
A gazdagok és szépek gondtalan életét élő Sydney Hayward átveszi nagyapai örökségét, a családi ingatlancéget, és ezzel nagy fába vágja a fejszéjét. Új kötelezettségei minden energiáját igénybe veszik, nincs ideje arra, hogy magánéleti bonyodalmakkal vesződjön. Márpedig Mikhail Stanislaski egyértelműen az. Bonyodalom. A világ, amelyből érkezett, gyökeresen különbözik Sydney világától, és mégis elég egyetlen érintése, hogy a lány elveszítse a fejét…
