Description
Summary:Abstract This essay presents an edition and translation of two hitherto unedited Coptic collections of sayings preserved in the Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto, Canada), Words of Instruction attributed to Athanasius of Alexandria and a group of anonymous Sayings, once wrongly attributed to Evagrius. After a description of the manuscript (characteristics, provenance, context of its acquisition) and of its contents (texts, language, previous research), I present in greater detail the two previously unedited collections of sayings found in it (characteristics of the sayings, original language, milieu of composition, attribution, dating, etc.). Finally, I offer brief comments on their place among similar collections. The edition and French translation of the two collections follow, each accompanied by notes.
