archive.org is no doubt a treasure, there plenty of great Coptic books there
the fayoumic is also great, I was able to read/understand it although I never studied fayoumic before

Thanks for sharing these books with us, please keep providing more
a good description/introduction for each books will be also very helpful

Dear Admin,
Thanks for your fast reply, Actually I was waiting for somebody who cares. So here are more...also a bit untill we see if the others concern and what exactly they need!
http://www.safran.be/marcmultilingue/versions.html#copte
this link is about st.Mark Gospel, you can also find versions in Greek, Syriaque and Larin.

http://www.k-schuessler.com/john.php
this is the personal site of Karlheinz Schussler, you will find Gospel of st. John in Sahidic and other important issues, moreover you should notice that he is the best in the world in the field of Coptic NT.

http://www.ifao.egnet.net/bifao/
in this link you will find "Le Bulletin de l’Institut français d’archéologie orientale", free to doenload, mostly about pharaonic Egypt but it has treasures of Coptic studies, the best is the completion of kasser to Crum's Dictionary. (I suggest it for every body)

The real value of documents in http://www.safran.be/marcmultilingue/versions.html#copte lies in the footers and explanations which are not in English :S
I don't understand why some words are underlined and why the document doesn't allow copying
I like these ones better
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=The%20Coptic%20version%20of%20the%20New%20Testament%20in%20the%20Southern%20dialect%20AND%20mediatype%3Atexts

http://www.k-schuessler.com/john.php

I didn't find the gospel of jhone there

http://www.ifao.egnet.net/bifao/

This site looks good for someone who can understand its language [ i can't ]


the books of L.Eccles looks good for teaching/learning but when I checked coptvocabexx.pdf
I found

girl p˘qeere (ⲡ.ϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ)

so I started to doubt how accurate is it? still I find it nice I will keep reading it

Thanks again for shaing
P.S.
Its not right to put your email on the forum, spammers scan forums for and once they found one they will send a looooooooot of unwanted emails to this address

[IbrahimLeiden]

Well dear, at least we start to read and discuss.

1- about Schussler, I checked it again and was surprised that he removed it, Perhaps he will print it. It is really rich material, thank God I downloaded it before.

2- BIFAO has articles in English, German and Arabic as well!

3- You are so right about Eccles, he is a teacher of Coptic, but Hahahaha he makes mistakes!

4- Horner is no more relaiable.

5- Sorry about putting my e-mail, I'm not expert in this, you can remove it. No problem.

For more and more discussions here are more......

Good Luck!

[Admin]

Horner is no more relaiable

I don't know why u say that, I didn't see any better/more accurate writing of new testament so far than his

of course the website of coptic manuscripts is nice to see, but there isn't much to read
the other page SAH_BOH is very useful and the text is used in a website called unbound bible
http://unbound.biola.edu/index.cfm?method=unbound.welcome
but in addition to the mistakes mentioned in the same web page, there is a bigger mistakes like
(Qenpiiordanh sniaro) ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏ ⲥⲛⲓⲁⲣⲟ instead of ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲓⲟⲣⲇⲁⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲟ
and sometimes I found even spelling mistakes, unfortunately I didn't write them down

for the apocrypha I liked the ones with interlinear translation http://www.metalog.org/ was my source but its down now

and thanks for the last link, this one is rich with manuscripts

[IbrahimLeiden]

Hi
You answer very fast, Horner is very old without good comentaries.

If you need to see I suggest these

El Evangelio de San Marcos en copto sahídico : (texto de M 569 y aparato crítico) / por Gonzalo Aranda Pérez

El Evangelio de San Mateo en copto sahidico : (texto de M 569, estudio preliminar y aparato crítico) / por Gonzalo Aranda

It is not available on line, but if you have account on Google Books, I think it is there....

I will post more and more later
regards



(Admin, Should I write in Arabic for the others?)

[Admin]

I have looked for the first book at amazon, it was there but "currently not availabe!"
I found it elsewhere for 11 euro but I can't just buy from any website

about writing in Arabic or English, u will always loose some audiances.
So its  really up to you, i understand both

[IbrahimLeiden]

لThid is really important, I invite everybody to see it:
