Topic: Sahidic


  
  Sahidic Coptic Collection (3 volumes)
Sahidic was the leading dialect of pre-Islamic Coptic, and is the dialect in which most known Coptic texts are written.
And since Sahidic shares most of its features with other dialects of Coptic, has few peculiarities not shared with other dialects, and has a considerable corpus of known texts, it is usually the dialect studied by students of Coptic.
Sahidic, on the other hand, ranks with the best papyri and the "B" Uncial (Vatican Library 1209) as representative of the Proto-Alexandrine textual family, which is generally recognized as the best and earliest group of manuscripts.

Sahidic is the most important regional form (or dialect) of Coptic for large part of the first millennium CE, a Pan-Egyptian written dialect which boasts a rich literature, both original and translated.
Sahidic Coptic was the dominant form of the Egyptian-Coptic language from the 3rd/4th to the 10th century.
Sahidic Coptic is therefore a pre-requisite to advanced courses in Coptic.

 Ancient Near East .Net - Coptic Language
Sahidic was firmly established as the standard literary dialect of Coptic by the 4th century CE (being employed within the first official translation of the Bible) and maintained its preeminence until its replacement by the Bohairic dialect in the 10th to 11th centuries CE.
The range of extant Sahidic texts is large: the New Testament and a large portion of the Old Testament; a sizeable corpus of ecclesiastical literature and significant remnants of secular literature (preserved to a far lesser degree) - the latter is mostly translated from original Greek sources.
Attested as early as the 9th century CE, the Bohairic dialect (sometimes designated as Memphitic) ultimately replaced Sahidic as the standard literary form of Coptic when it was adopted as the official tongue of the Coptic Church in the 11th century CE.

Sahidic (formerly called Thebaic) is dialect in which most known Coptic texts are written, and was the leading dialect in the pre- Islamic period.
As a contemporary liturgical language, Bohairic is generally pronounced using the so-called "reformed pronunciation" mandated by Pope Cyrillus IV (1854– 1861), modeling the pronunciation of Coptic letters after their equivalents in Modern Greek.

But the fact is that no Bohairic manuscript and probably no Fayumic manuscript is older than the ninth century, while some Sahidic and Akhimimic codices are apparently as old as the fifth and even the fourth century.
The Sahidic version is especially of importance for the study of the Septuagint, as it was made, it seems from Greek manuscripts free from Hexapla influence.

The translator's of the Sahidic Version knew Koine better than anyone today can claim to; they grew up immersed in it because it was an important international language in their day.
After all, Koinê Greek was their native language, and they had directly received the traditions from the Apostles and those appointed by them, and some had in fact been appointed or taught by John himself (assuming "John" was the author of the Gospel that bears his name).
Sahidic Mss go back to the third century CE, few Greek Mss are dated older than that.

The resources in the Sahidic Coptic Collection make this a little easier for the Coptic neophyte (that's where I am) and the folks who are big-time into Coptic.
Because the Sahidic Coptic editions we have are likely very early, they provide an early glimpse into the texts they are translations of.
This indicates that it is supplied to the text as a suggestion that it was in the text that the Sahidic Coptic editions were translated from.

 For An Answer: John 1:18 in the Sahidic Coptic Translation
A final point: The Sahidic translation (not just in John 1:18, but also 1:14 and Hebrews 11:17) supports most Greek scholars who understand the Greek MONOGENHS to mean "only" or "only Son," as opposed to "only-begotten," the rendering in the NWT, and thus dogmatically supported by JW apologists.
Also, Sahidic contains words meaning both "only" (see Crum for "mise," and "ouwt") and "begotten" (see Crum for "mate," "meeue," and "Jpo"), so it seems there were several ways for the translators to have expressed the idea of "only-begotten," had they understood MONOGENHS to have such a meaning.
In conclusion, then, the translation of Coptic John 1:18 in English is most probably "God, the only Son." And this translation suggests that the Sahidic translators understood the Son to be fully divine, and this was the sense they were conveying in their translation of John 1:1c.

Coptic Egyptian was spoken only in Egypt, and historically has had little influence outside of Egypt proper, with the exception of monasteries located in Nubia.
For example, both Sahidic and Bohairic use the word ebenos, which was taken directly from Greek "ebony", originally from Egyptian hbny.

The Sahidic Coptic text was translated from NT Greek manuscripts about 200-300 C.E. Some of those Greek manuscripts may have been as early as p66 (Bodmer II), the earliest extant witness to the Gospel of John.
The Sahidic Coptic text is a very early example of how the NT Greek text was understood and translated by early Christians.
However, the Sahidic text was the first translation in a language with grammar that contained both definite and indefinite articles.

 Chapter 2
The circumstance of this work being written in Sahidic, which was the vulgar language of the Thebais, seems to conclude not a little against the origin which it is ascribed, in being referred to Valentinus.
The Sahidic version quoted in the book of Wisdom, may consequently, for any thing which this argument concludes, be as well ascribed to the fourth century as to the second.
As Greek was manifestly the current language of Egypt, and manuscripts in that language were as obviously prevalent in Egypt; we must conceive that the vulgar translations of this country were accommodated to the generality of those manuscripts with which the natives were acquainted.

The translation process was facilitated by the invention of a new Coptic script based on Greek characters rather than the old Egyptian scripts.

 For An Answer: John 1:1 in the Sahidic Coptic Translation
I have no doubt that others may soon jump on board, as Witnesses see the Sahidic translation - a translation dating back to at least the 3rd Century - as vindication of the NWT in a big way.
The grammar, alone, cannot prove that the Word was "a god," "a God," or "had the quality of God" in the minds of the Coptic translators.
Indeed, a thorough study of the Sahidic Translation, based on the published MSS, is needed to even begin such a task.

It is thought that the Sahidic version was the earliest, then the Middle Egyptian and finally the Buchairic.
A Coptic (Sahidic) MS, written considerably before 350 AD, and published by the British Museum in April, 1912, contains Deuteronomy, Jonah, and Acts, and is older than any other Biblical manuscript (except a few fragments) yet known to exist.
He added fragments of the Sahidic Psalter and of the Buchairic Proverbs Tattam published the Minor Prophets in 1836 and the Major in 1852 an edition of the Gospels in London in 1847, and of the rest of the New Testament in 1852 (SPCK), with a literal Arabic version.
