Full Description
The First Cataract between Egypt and Nubia was a frontier that changed over time due to environmental conditions, political transformations, and intercultural exchange. Spanning the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods, this volume uses archaeological, architectural, and textual sources as well as travel reports from sites such as Aswan, Elephantine, Philae, Dayr Anba Hadra, and Qasr Ibrim to explore life in this region. The contributions present new research on topics including monastic art and architecture, pottery, Arabic, Demotic, Greek and Coptic documents, liturgical texts, board games and the region's agricultural potential. Further studies examine cross-border trade and the question to which extent Nubia can still be understood as "Corridor to Africa".
