Résumé : This volume is the first of the proceedings of the Twelfth International Congress of Coptic Studies, organised by the IACS and held at the Université libre de Bruxelles from 11 to 16 July 2022. It compiles the reports presented during the plenary sessions of the event. The articles provide a critical and bibliographic overview of recent research across various sub-disciplines, (monasticism, liturgy, codicology and palaeography, art history, contemporary Coptic studies, linguistics, Nubian studies, archaeology, papyrology, Copto-Arabic studies, and magic). Together, they reflect the richness and diversity of Coptic studies at the dawn of the third millennium. This collection synthesises the most significant advancements – particularly in technical and methodological approaches – and sheds light on emerging perspectives within the fields covered. As a testament to the vitality of these disciplines, this volume will be an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in Coptic studies.
