Life of John the Kalybites (John the Hut-dweller)

Life of John the Kalybites (Coptic; MERC.AT, British Library Or. 6783) · anonymous · unknown (identification and date not established in the sources consulted) · hagiography

partial / older only. An English translation exists but is partial or older than the critical edition. The gap is a modern, complete translation from the original. A rendering of a daughter version does not count here: it is recorded on the dossier of the text it actually translates.

Why this is in the register

Only English rendering located: Budge, Coptic Martyrdoms etc. in the Dialect of Upper Egypt (1914), where it appears as item VIII 'The life of John the monk' (HOLLIS alma990022486850203941); Coptic Scriptorium keys its TEI to that volume p. n259 (urn:cts:copticLit:lives.john_kalybites.budge:1-45). HOLLIS 'John Kalybites' and 'Kalybites' both returned 0 records. Older translation only; the title used by Budge differs from the modern label.

c. 8,200 Coptic tokens in the local mirror (2 TEI files); codex MERC.AT, British Library Or. 6783 ff. 67b-75a. Identification should be checked against Budge's running heads before use: the Scriptorium label ('John the Kalybites') is not Budge's own title ('John the monk').
