L’Orient-souvenir. Le surgissement du passé autobiographique dans le périple méditerranéen de Flaubert by Sarga Moussa

“…Here, we examine in his travel notes and correspondence three examples of a personal past emerging – first, a recent past, that of the first version of La Tentation de saint Antoine, which Flaubert is thinking back to during his encounter with a Coptic priest; then, a more distant past, that of his own youth resurfacing in the Kuchuk-Hanem episode by the Nile; finally, an imagined past, associated with a former life, reappearing like a ghost in the Greek village of Topolia. Before he espoused the principle of literary impersonality, Flaubert considered travel writing as a form in which the ‘I’ could reveal itself freely; it re-emerged in more indirect ways in the works that followed.…”

Des allégories des Saisons sur les tissus coptes by Amandine Mérat

“…The identification of figures on Egyptian textiles of the Byzantine period (sixth-seventh centuries AD) is still a delicate and uncertain exercise due to the rarity of examples clearly named by inscriptions in Coptic or Greek. This search for identities is moreover often distorted or led astray by the Western vision of researchers who, influenced by Christian art of the medieval period, regularly attribute a Christian saintly dimension to any figure with a nimbus around his or her head. …”
