Prof. Layton taughtthe history of ancient Christianity and also the Coptic language at YaleUniversity for forty years beginning in 1976. At that time he wasalready recognized internationally as a leading figure in thepublication and study of the Coptic Gnostic texts from the Nag HammadiCodices and in Coptic linguistic and manuscript studies, two areas ofresearch that are represented in this volume by sections on Gnostic, Valentinian, and Manichaean literature, and on Coptic language andtexts. A section on Egyptian monasticism pays tribute to Prof. Layton'sfundamental contributions to the study of the late antique monasticleader and Coptic author Shenoute.
