Site Map

return to introductory page

 

This map indicates the layout of this web site. It begins with the projects at Minnesota, about which more will be added later.

 
The next part has to do with the White and Red Monasteries, the foci of the Symposium. It provides links to some of the websites showing some of the major accomplishments since the conference. A link will be added to a page listing recent bibliography. Finally, this part briefly illustrates the nature of the major monuments.
 

At the bottom are background materials about the history of Christianity in Egypt, illudtrated by some Egyptian art and European art showing how these stories and people have entered and developed in European consciousness, East and West.
