The newest Heritage-preserving project of the St. Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society, a companion to the Coptic Bible App. First version of the App is scheduled to be released in mid July God willing. It is designed to include all extant Coptic non-biblical texts with the capabilities of searching for a single string over the entire corpus. It will be a project that the Society will continue to add to it after I am gone from this life. This is the framework I am leaving to you and those that will follow you. Along with the Coptic Bible App they represent the preservation work that I began through the St. Shenouda Society since its inception in 1979. The plan is to include Coptic as well as Arabic texts that form the corpus of what we know as the Coptic Christian literary Heritage. 🙏🙏🙏
