On 23 and 24 February 2018, a two-day workshop took place at Universität Hamburg, dedicated to ‘Linking Manuscripts from the Coptic, Ethiopian, and Syriac Domain: Present and Future Synergy Strategies’.

In this article, I am going to analyse how the typology of Coptic multipletext manuscripts (MTMs) evolved in relation to their content and regional provenance, showing how Coptic literature and Coptic book production underwent a revolutionary transformation that started in the ninth century, becoming something completely different from what it was before.
