Classical Coptic Pronunciation
bashandy:
Wikipedia is open to public, so it does not matter whose idea is that. Coptic language is tackled from various approaches:
01. Archaeological/Historical: Coptic language is treated as a historical language that is important for understanding manuscripts, esp. Bible, apocrypha, gnosticism, and patristic works
02. Religious: Coptic language is understood as the language of the Coptic chants and hymns where understanding it helps praying with understanding
03. Nationalistic: some find Coptic a symbol of nationalism eg Al-Umma Al-Qibtya (till 1950's), Claudius Labib and others.

--- Quote from: bashandy on 20 February , 2019, 11:37:20 AM ---In the 20th century, Sahidic gained a new height of importance when Nag Hammadi Codices of apocrypha and Gnostic gospels and writings were accidentally discovered. Before this, little was available about them. We knew they existed as church fathers condemned them, but this was the first hands on reading.

All papyrus scans of the NHL can be consulted via the Claremont Colleges Digital Library:
https://ccdl.claremont.edu/digital/collection/nha
However, their presentation is fairly chaotic and the website does not offer a structured way to access all of the papyri.
So I have made a full list that hyperlinks to CCDL:
