St. Shenouda Coptic Newsletter

St. Shenouda Coptic Quarterly (by Hany N. Takla)

Introduction: About 20 years ago, a quarterly journal for Coptic Studies was in the master plan, contemplated for the Society. The success of the Subscriber's Edition of the Newsletter encouraged us to pursue such a step. Also the availability of researchers in the field, associated with the Society, will make such project a possibility. It will replace that edition of the Newsletter. We are hopeful that God will help in making such endeavor as successful as our other publications. Scope: The scope of this Journal will be restricted to topics related to Coptic Studies in general, including text editions (Coptic and possibly Arabic) as well as studies. Such topics will include Coptic History (People and Church), Coptic Liturgy, Coptic Language, Coptic Bible, Coptic Literature, Coptic Hagiography, and Coptic Monasticism. Reviews of publications in this field will also be included. Every effort will be made to coordinate with other publications, such as Coptic Church Review and Coptologia (soon to be the Journal of the St. Mark Foundation for Coptic History), to insure the uniqueness of this work. Format: The size will be about 32 pages. It will be distributed to dues-paying members of publication subscribers. The Newsletter will continue in the abbreviated format f the non- subscriber edition. Editorial Board: Tentatively, the following have been named to the Editorial Board of the Journal: Bishop Samuel Mr. Maged S. A. Mikhail Mr. Hany N. Takla Mr. Ramses Wassif Rev. Dr. Tim Vivian First Issue: The following articles have been submitted or promised for the first issue:

Hany N. Takla, The Bohairic 14th Vision of the Book of Daniel: 1. Text and translation. Publication Date: The journal is scheduled to be published in four editions per year in the same manner as the Newsletter. For the Society's Annual Year of October to September, the publication dates are October, January, April, and July. The first issue, however will be delayed to November 1999, to allow the members and other subscribers to send their subscription forms. Information for Authors: The Society invites papers, in any of the topics enumerated above. All submittals must be in English.
