| Sumario: | This article provides a short discussion of some Coptic and Arabic secondary inscriptions from Dayr Qubbat al‑Hawāʾ, an Upper Egyptian monastery situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite modern‑day Aswan. Since vast areas of the monastery are still buried under sand and have hardly been researched, if at all, the Coptic, Greek, and Arabic secondary inscriptions uncovered in the monastic church during excavations at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century provide an important source of information on the history of the monastery. Starting with a brief overview of Dayr Qubbat al‑Hawāʾ—topography and research history—the contribution turns to its focal point, the discussion of some Coptic and Arabic secondary inscriptions dating from the 10th to the 14th c. CE, providing an idea of the occupation of the site in the medieval period based on this selection. |
