The collection of Coptic texts at the Sorbonne's Institute of Papyrology is rich with about one hundred and eighty pieces, illustrating various types of texts and covering a chronological arc from the fourth to the twelfth century. The 6th Summer School of Coptic Papyrology (July 2018) provided an opportunity for participants to study a number of them, and this volume is the result of their work. It contains annotated editions of forty-five texts, mostly documentary (legal acts, accounting documents, letters), written on papyrus and ostraca, to which are added a biblical text and a magical text. In addition to the discovery of new documentary types or words attested for the first time, these documents allow us to flesh out certain monastic and village files of Middle Egypt (monastery of Apa Apollo at Baouît, monastery of Apa Sabinos, villages of the Hermopolitan nome).
