520 3    |a Coptic, derived from Ancient Egyptian and written in a modified Greek alphabet, continued to be used for Egyptian Christian liturgy even after the Arab invasion in the seventh century, although by the twelfth century it was sometimes written in Arabic script. Coptic scholars began consciously producing works on Coptic grammar and vocabulary, including Arabic equivalents. Gradually Gospels and other religious texts started to be written in both Coptic and Arabic, placed side by side. Purely Arabic liturgical texts also appeared, indicating that Arabic had moved from a mere reference translation to actual liturgical use. The present manuscript begins with a confessional and penitent prayer on the first page and includes selections from the Psalms and the Gospel of John (Text by Tania Tribe, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.)
