05.01.2022 Hi all, Just a friendly reminder that enrolment for the 2018 Summer Macquarie Ancient Language School is currently open, and the cut-off date for the early-bird discount is Monday December 4th. The school runs from the 8th to the 12th of January. Once again I will be running the Beginners Coptic course. The course covers much of the easier grammar taught in the university’s Coptic A and B units, focusing mainly on Sahidic but also with a session on Bohairic, showing the main ...differences between these two dialects. In class exercises are drawn from Biblical and other literary material, and some non-literary material. I’d like to encourage anyone interested to join, or to pass on the details to anyone you know who might be interested. Coptic generally receives lower numbers of enrolments than other languages, and it is vital that we continue to support the teaching and study of this language, history, and culture and Macquarie.
