So You Want to Learn Coptic? A Guide to Bohairic Grammar

Coptic was the last phase in the development of Hieroglyphics, and the language of the first Chrisitans of Egypt. Most scholarly attention has been directed towards the Sahidic dialect, leaving Bohairic as a much maligned second cousin, in spite of it remaining the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. While there are many excellent grammar books catering for Sahidic lovers, there are many less options available for those interested in learning Bohairic. This book aims to cater for those people, especially for those without a formal introduction to linguistics. With a fresh and lively approach, it will be of great value to those with an interest in this area.
