| Summary: | This article examines a particular instance of erasure in MACA.AF, a text version of Ps.-Chrysostom's On Michael A deriving from the Monastery of Saint Macarius.

This raises questions about why the content was erased, who was involved in the erasure, and what this can tell us about manuscript production and textual fluidity in Coptic literature from a monastic context. |
