Brossura. Condition: nuovo. 17pp. Estratto da "ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA PERIODICA" (2016), fasc. I-II -- The area of ancient Skêtis (modern Wâdí al-Naýrûn) about 100 km NW of Cairo was once home to thousands of eremites and coenobitic monks. Even though considerably diminishing in numbers over the course of the middle ages and the early modern era, the monastic foundations there retained their prominent status playing, ultimately, an important role in the Europe's "discovery" of the Coptic Christianity. The ancient monasteries attracted numerous Western visitors to Wâdí al-Naýrûn beginning in the seventeenth century; men of letters and representatives of Western Christianity would eventually record their personal experiences, among them a Franciscan missionary, Remedius Prutký (1713-1770). The present essay focuses on Prutký's account of Wâdí al-Naýrûn in his manuscript Itinera rium. While the blatant similarities between Prutky's work and a manuscript by another Franciscan missionary, Jakub \íma (1682-1755), were first observed in the 1940s, my present close examination of Prutký's alleged visit to Wadí al-Nayrûn reveals substantial problems as to the veracity of this particular account, which appears to have been most likely plagiarized from a text published by a Jesuit missionary, Claude Sicard, in 1717. Since I first presented these findings in 2008, I published two more case studies (in 2009 & 2010) on two other accounts in Prutký's Itinerarium that demonstrate the author's tacit use of published texts in composing his own. These findings allow me to arrive, in the latter part of the present essay, to a substantial reassessment of Prutky's Itinerarium as a work of highly problematic authenticity, a lucid example of the complex history of textual transmission.…
