On Tuesday, October 16, 2018, Dr. Rebecca Krawiec, Dept. of Religious Studies & Theology, (right) described her participation in a project aimed at creating a digital collection of ancient texts preserved in Coptic. One of the main features of the project has been to incorporate many layers of information into the digitization, so that each text provides access to multiple avenues of research.
