| Summary: | This paper introduces the Sahidic Coptic fragments of Basil of Caesarea's Asceticon Magnum (CPG 2875). The first part of the article is devoted to the study of a Sahidic fragment of the Prooemium to Basil's Long Rules. The author demonstrates that the Sahidic text did not serve as a basis for the Arabic translation of the Prooemium, as some scholars assumed in the past. In the second part, a newly identified fragment of the Short Rules is presented. |
