The Shenute Codex, Egypt, Coptic Period, 7th.Papyrus page from a codex with an account of the life of Shenute, abbot of the White Monastery at Sohaq, Egypt, during the 5th century. Shenute was very influential in the Coptic Church and his works were read for centuries after his death. In his
works he attacked all those who had not been converted to Christianity; he also criticized those within the monastic system whom he thought lacked true devotion. The papyrus is written in the Sahidic dialect of Coptic. EA 71005/3
