Session outline

Coptic Scriptorium is an interdisciplinary project dedicated to the digital and computational study of Coptic Language and Literature. The last phase of the ancient Egyptian language, Coptic was prominent in Egypt during the Roman and early Byzantine periods and is important for research in Religious Studies, Linguistics, Biblical Studies, Papyrology, Classics, Egyptology, and other fields. This presentation will introduce the project and goals, demonstrate the tools and technology available for researchers, provide an overview of key aspects "under the hood" that go into making the project, and assess challenges in this kind of work. We will end with a summary of future directions in the project and an invitation for researchers to get involved.
