Description: Episcopal Networks and Authority in Late Antique Egypt by R. Dekker Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this book the author examines how two bishops in the Theban regioncontributed to the rise of a new, anti-Chalcedonian church hierarchy,which became the forerunner of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Abraham ofHermonthis (ca. 590-621) and Pesynthius of Koptos (599-632) areexceptional, since a large number of their professional documents(mostly in Coptic) is preserved. By applying Social Network Analysis tothese documents, the author reconstructed their individual socialnetworks and linked them to a wider regional network that was centeredon monastic communities in Western Thebes (west of modern Luxor), butalso included a large number of civil officials, clergymen and lay menand women. In addition, a social model of episcopal authority wasadopted, in order to evaluate how the bishops used their authority andto explain what made Pesynthius so extraordinary that he is stillremembered as a saint by the Coptic Orthodox Church.
