About the Book

English summary: Pictures with Christian content are an important aspect of the religiosity of the Coptic Church, and in the form of wall paintings, icons, book illustrations and objects from the minor arts they attest their deep significance for the Coptic faith. In order to give expression to individual motifs, artists drew upon hagiographic texts, in which the lives, miracles, and deaths of Christian saints are evocatively described. Passages from such texts were artistically transformed into works of representational art, and thus a specific iconography was created for each saint. Gaining insight into the representational schemata that thus emerged and the textual sources on which they were based is made difficult by the fact that research in this area tends to focus either on the art historical side, with studies of icons or wall paintings, or on the philological side, by means of text editions. In this study, the pictorial material from the fifth to eighteenth centuries and also the written hagiographic sources that are relevant for the iconographies of twelve selected monks and martyrs in Egypt are brought together for the first time in a monograph. Because of their quantity and quality, the icons, wall paintings, and book illustrations represent the most important groups of representational objects and so constitute the broad basis of the pictorial material, which is enlarged by diverse objects from the minor arts, such as stelae, ampullae, and textiles. Because the chosen group of individuals is limited to monks and martyrs, the Coptic Lives, Martyrdoms, encomia, and miracle stories, as well as the Copto-Arabic Synaxarium represent the crucial corpus of texts. The Coptic manuscripts used are all dated to the period between the ninth and the fourteenth centuries. The relevant passages from them are quoted both in the original Coptic and in German translation. The group of individuals investigated is divided into the two groups monks and martyrs, which makes it possible to highlight the striking differences in the specific iconographic features of each group. Each saint is presented in a separate chapter containing the results of the investigation as well as a catalogue listing all the written and pictorial sources that were used in the study. The main results of the study extend from the iconographic analysis aimed at identifying the representational motifs and isolating their textual sources, through new identifications, corrections, and reconstructions, to the iconographic variants found in the icons of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. German description: Bilder christlichen Inhalts sind in der Religiositat der koptischen Kirche ein wichtiger Bestandteil und sie bezeugen in Form von Wandmalereien, Ikonen, Buchmalereien und Objekten der Kleinkunst ihre grosse Bedeutung fur den koptischen Glauben. Zur Gestaltung der einzelnen Motive wurde auf hagiographische Schriften zuruckgegriffen, in denen das Leben, Wirken und Sterben christlicher Heiliger in anschaulicher Weise dargestellt wird. In den Bildwerken wurden Passagen jener Schriften kunstlerisch umgesetzt und dadurch eine fur jeden Heiligen spezifische Ikonographie geschaffen. Die Einsicht in die so entstandenen Darstellungsschemata und die ihnen zu Grunde liegenden Textquellen wird durch die Tatsache erschwert, dass der Fokus der Forschung auf diesem Gebiet entweder auf den kunstgeschichtlichen Bereich mit Werken uber Ikonen oder Wandmalereien oder den philologischen Bereich in Form der Texteditionen gerichtet ist. In dieser Arbeit wird erstmals zu zwolf ausgewahlten Monchen und Martyrern in Agypten das Bildmaterial aus dem 5.-18. Jahrhundert und die fur die Ikonographien massgeblichen hagiographischen Textquellen in einer Monographie in Zusammenhang gestellt. Die Ikonen, Wandmalereien und Buchmalereien stellen hinsichtlich ihrer Quantitat und Qualitat die wichtigsten Bildtragergruppen dar und bilden daher die breite Basis des Bildmaterials, das durch diverse Objekte der Kleinkunst wie Stelen, Ampullen und Textilien erganzt wird. Da der ausgewahlte Personenkreis auf Monche und Martyrer eingegrenzt ist, stellen die koptischen Viten, Martyrien, Enkomien und Wunderberichte sowie das kopto-arabische Synaxarium das entscheidende Textmaterial dar. Die untersuchten koptischen Handschriften werden alle in die Zeit zwischen dem 9. und 14. Jahrhundert datiert. Aus ihnen sind die relevanten Textpassagen sowohl im koptischen Original als auch in einer deutschen Ubersetzung angegeben. Der untersuchte Personenkreis ist in die beiden Gruppen Monche und Martyrer unterteilt. Dadurch konnen die eklatanten Unterschiede in den spezifischen ikonographischen Merkmalen jeder Gruppe verdeutlicht werden. Jeder Heilige wird in einem eigenen Kapitel vorgestellt, in dem die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sowie alle verwendeten Quellen schriftlicher und bildlicher Art in Form eines Katalogs enthalten sind. Die zentralen Ergebnisse der Studie reichen von der ikonographischen Untersuchung zur Benennung der Bildthemen und Verifizierung der Textquellen uber Neu-Identifizierungen, Korrekturen und Rekonstruktionen bis zu den ikonographischen Varianten bei den Ikonen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts.
