Stephen Emmel, professor at the University of Munster since 1996, has devoted much of his work to researching the manuscript tradition of the works composed by the Egyptian archimandrite Shenoute (4th/5th c.), the most prolific Coptic author and crucial for the study of the language. Thanks to a masterful reconstruction of the Shenoutean corpus, from a hundred witnesses, all fragmentary and dispersed, he made this research make considerable progress, which opened the way to studies on the content of the works and the history of monasticism during this period. In homage to these pioneering works, and to S. Emmel’s stimulating leadership, this volume brings together twenty-five contributions which illustrate the variety of approaches and issues in the study of Shenoute’s sermons and the manuscripts transmitting them: Bible, liturgy, magic, patristics, history, hagiography, philology, codicology, and even archeology are all fields affected by this collection.

Stephen Emmel, professeur a l'universite de Munster depuis 1996, a consacre une grande partie de ses travaux a la recherche sur la tradition manuscrite des oeuvres de l'archimandrite egyptien Chenoute (4e/5e s.), auteur copte le plus prolixe et le plus important pour l'etude de la langue. Grace a une magistrale reconstruction du corpus chenoutien, a partir d'une centaine de temoins, tous fragmentaires et disperses, il a fait faire a cette recherche des progres considerables, qui ont ouvert la voie a des etudes sur le contenu des oeuvres et l'histoire du monachisme a cette periode. En hommage a ces travaux pionniers, et au stimulant leadership exerce par S. Emmel, ce volume regroupe vingt-cinq contributions qui illustrent la variete des approches et des enjeux de l'etude des sermons de Chenoute et des manuscrits qui les transmettent : Bible, liturgie, magie, patristique, histoire, hagiographie, philologie, codicologie, et meme archeologie, sont autant de domaines concernes par ce recueil.
