The world's largest and most exquisite collection of Coptic artifacts is now housed in the Coptic Museum, founded in Old Cairo in 1908. Here for the first time, in this lavishly illustrated book, more than 130 of the greatest treasures of the Coptic Museum have been beautifully photographed to present an overview of this rich artistic heritage."--BOOK JACKET.
