New light on the Social and Cultural Role of Priests Active in the Holy Land and Sinai

How many languages did priests master? What was their literacy level? What did they copy and where? By addressing these and related questions, alternating between overviews and case studies, the essays in this volume aim to shed new light on the cultural role of priests who were active in Sinai and the Holy Land during the Byzantine and immediate post-Byzantine periods and who wrote in the many languages of the Christian Orient. Most of the contributions are devoted to priests and manuscripts from the Monastery of St Catherine (Sinai), focusing on books copied in Greek, Arabic, Syriac, and Georgian.

Dr Giulia Rossetto, Assistant Professor at the University of Vienna and Post-Doc researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, teaches and publishes on Byzantine manuscript culture, with a special focus on the Sinai.
