Description:
An Elementary Coptic Grammar of the Sahidic Dialect is a concise introduction to the structure of Sahidic Coptic by C. C. Walters. Coptic is the last stage of the Egyptian language, written mainly in Greek letters with some added signs, and it is still the liturgical language of the Coptic Christians of Egypt. Sahidic was the principal literary dialect, so this is a good starting point for students of ancient Egyptian, early Christianity and the Coptic New Testament and related texts. The book does not aim to be an exhaustive study but to give the basic grammar as succinctly as possible. It was first published in the 1970s and revised in 1983, and this copy is the 1983 Blackwell edition in blue card covers. It is a useful, compact reference for language learners and collectors of Egyptology and ancient-language books.
