This volume gives the text of the contributions presented at the Second
International Congress on Eastern Christianity organised in Madrid in
April 2008. The focus of the conference was on the written heritage
("manuscripts, scribes and context") of Eastern Christians in different
periods and from different confessional backgrounds, but it was thought
appropriate to include some contributions on the Jewish written heritage
as well. Part I of the volume is devoted to manuscript collections and
archives in Spain, Portugal, Alexandria and St Petersburg. Part II deals
with Christian Arabic, Coptic, Greek and Slavonic manuscripts written by
members of different religious communities. Part III discusses a variety
of contextual issues such as the Egyptian monastic environment (book
binding and manuscript illumination, women readers), schools (school texts
on papyri) and Christian sources in Ibn Giqatela's psalm commentary.
