Studies in Church History - coverBusy Oxford historians and theologians working on Christian church history will be pleased to know that Studies in Church History (ISSN 0424-2084) is now available online from volume 46 (2010) via SOLO (very shortly) and OU eJournals. For older volumes, please search SOLO to find the printed copies.

With v. 52 (2016) Cambridge University Press has taken over the publication of this annually published series which include selected themed papers and communications of the Ecclesiastical History Society‘s conferences.

“These volumes endeavour to explore a theme (chosen by the president for the year), providing a snapshot of current scholarship on a particular aspect of church history. Essays may focus on issues of detail, or take a broad perspective. They should be a helpful starting point for the student approaching particular issues in the history of Christianity, and are often of interest to those working in other disciplines. Each volume comprises around thirty essays, ranging widely throughout Christian history.” from http://www.history.ac.uk/ehsoc/studies-in-church-history, accessed 21 July 2016

The Griffith Librarian at the Sackler Library is running a trial of Corpus dei Manoscritti Copti Letterari. A username and password is required for this resource which is available through Weblearn (SSO required).

This database includes:

  1. Clavis Patrum Copticorum: list of the authors and works of the Coptic literature with information on manuscripts, content, and critical problems;
  2. Manuscripts: list (a) of the individual collections, (b) of the Coptic codices either well preserved or reconstructed, especially from the Monastery of St. Shenoute, Atripe (White Monastery);
  3. Texts: electronic edition of Coptic texts with Italian translation;
  4. Grammar: a computational grammar of Sahidic with a list of words according to the grammatical categories; and
  5. Bibliography: Complete bibliography for Coptic studies.

Please look out for the fact that it is not updated frequently (in the order of the old AEB) and let Diane Bergman know by 3 April what you think about the quality of the scans in the manuscripts section.
