Description

Discusses how 17C Catholic missionaries tried to force the Copts, Egyptian members of the Church of Alexandria, into union with the Church of Rome, and the slow accumulation of knowledge of Coptic beliefs, undertaken by Catholics and Protestants. This study also includes a survey of the study of the Coptic language in the West.
