Christian Saï in Written Records (Inscriptions and Manuscripts), JJP 36 (2006), 91-104 (original) (raw)

Christian Saï is identified as a significant center within the Christian Kingdom of Makuria, although archaeological evidence is limited. Written records, primarily inscriptions and manuscripts in Greek, Coptic, and Old Nubian, provide the main insights into the history and ecclesiastical structure of Saï, particularly regarding its episcopacy. This research compiles and analyzes these references, shedding light on the historical context and the fragmentary nature of records related to the bishopric.
