Van Gerven OeiBrooklyn, NYpunctum books2012Den Haag, Netherlands :Uitgeverij,2012.1 online resource (xvii, 155 pages) map; PDF, digital file(s)Print version: 9081709135 Includes bibliographical references.The Miracle of Saint Mina is one of the core texts in the small corpus of texts written in Old Nubian, a Nilo-Saharan language spoken between the third and fourth cataract of the Nile river until about the fifteenth century, and written in an adaptation of the Coptic script. It is one of the oldest written indigenous African languages. The Miracle of Saint Mina, most probably written around 1000 A.D., is a classical miracle story featuring one of the most well-known Egyptian saints. This publication features a translation of the text into one of the remaining modern Nubian languages, Dongolawi-Andaandi, by El-Shafie El-Guzuuli, thus establishing for the first time a link between the Old Nubian literary heritage and the contemporary colloquial language. The Old Nubian is also accompanied by a revised translation to English and a grammatical analysis.Nubian languagesGrammarNubian literatureChristian saintsEgyptOld Nubianmiracle storyChristianityDongolawiNubian languagesGrammar.Nubian literature.Christian saintsEl-Guzuuli El-Shafieedt1363734El-Guzuuli El-ShafieGerven Oei Vincent W.
