Many Coptic literary texts are circulated under the name of Athanasiusof Alexandria, the Alexandrian Archbishop and Theologian (ca. 296/298-2May 373). Although there are strong evidences that most of these textsare falsely attributed to him, they are of extreme importance for thestudy of Coptic Christianity. The four homilies, edited and translatedin this two volumes book, present 'Another Athanasius' to those who knewthe history of their pseudo-Author. The homilies present Athanasius as aclose friend of Pachomius, the Archimandrite of Upper Egypt (ca.292-348). A visit of Pachomius to Alexandria is described in details.One homily relates about Athanasius' escape to Upper Egypt. Anotherhomily contains fanciful acts of the Nicene council. The last homilypresents Athanasius as a preacher while giving a long talk on theChristian household. This corpus of texts reveals the mental image ofAthanasius in the Coptic mentality through centuries after his death.
