Ancient Coptic Churches - Part 1

Alfred Butler, the author of this volume says, “The aim of this book is to make a systematic beginning upon a great subject - the Christian antiquities of Egypt. Few subjects of equal importance have been so singularly neglected”. In this two volume edition he describes in great detail the physical and architectural details of many of the great Coptic Orthodox Churches, while providing a wealth of incidental information about the rites and doctrines of the Church.
