Looking forward…We were aware that this new project has been funded. It's good to have more information in this post.The Coptic Magical Papyri project ended last year, but we are happy to announce that it will continue in a new form. The Coptic Magical Formularies project has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for three years, from 2024 to 2027, with the research to be carried out by Korshi Dosoo, former leader of the Coptic Magical Texts project, and Markéta Preininger, formerly doctoral and then postdoctoral researcher on the same project.
This project will focus on the production of a second volume of the Papyri Copticae Magicae, the series whose first volume appeared last year. ...
PaleoJudaica has followed the Coptic Magical Papyri Project since its inception. There are lots of posts in the archive. I look forward to following the work of the new project and to the publication of lots more Coptic magical texts.
Cross-file under (of course) Coptic Watch.
