Collaboration and Computation in Coptic Studies

Over the past 13 years, digital Coptic Studies has flourished across the globe. Building on core foundational work by pioneers such as Tito Orlandi and Stephen Emmel, the Coptic Studies community has built a vibrant digital ecosystem. This paper will provide a retrospective on the role of international collaboration in building digital Coptic Studies, examples of computational research that now can be done on the Coptic SCRIPTORIUM platform thanks to such collaborations, and suggestions for future work in the field.
