Description

The text contains the beginning of a Sahidic translation of the Panegyric of Gregory of Nazianzus on Basil of Caesarea (for the Greek original, see Migne, PG XXXVI 493ff). The Coptic translator has often had recourse to loose paraphrase instead of verbatim rendition, and he may not always have understood his model. The introductory section (R i 1-24), set off by an elaborate border, is a considerable expansion of the Greek title.
