DAS WORT IM BILD - CAROLA NAFROTH GEBUNDEN

In the Coptic Church  numerous pictorial representations with Christian content attest their
deep significance for the Coptic faith. In order to give expression to individual motifs 
individual passages from various texts were transformed into works of representational art  and
thus specific forms of representation were created. This study brings together for the first
time in a monograph the iconographies of twelve monks and martyrs in Egypt and also the
hagiographic textual sources that were determinative for their representational images.
Furthermore  new identifications  corrections  and reconstructions are offered  and the
iconographic variants that are found in icons of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are
described. In this way  questions about the word in pictures and the relationship between
Coptic hagiography and Coptic art can be given a copious answer.
