Gardner, I., Alcock, A., Funk, W.-P., Coptic Documentary Texts from Kellis 2, (= P. Kell. VII) (Oxbow Press: Oxford 2014). 366 pp., 18 plates, CD with supplementary images. May be purchased here.

"This is the second volume on fourth century Coptic documents written on papyri and boards, found in the ruins of houses at Kellis, the Roman predecessor of the village of Ismant el-Kharab in the Dakhleh Oasis. It is concerned with 75 letters and associated household accounts and lists, mostly from House 3. The documents are transcribed and translated with commentary. Together, these two volumes break new ground in providing a unique insight into the social and economic relations of a sectarian group within a late antique village, and the opportunity to study that group’s interaction with other communities. They give voice to ordinary people and provide genuine insights into literacy and the role of women, communications and travel, multilingual society and normative forms of belief and practice."

What Do Wedding Photography and Papyrology Have to Do with Each Other?

Absolutely nothing, as far as I know. BUT, this is one papyrologist who happens also to be a professional wedding and engagement photographer and I thought I would let my readers know this little hidden secret. Are you recently engaged or soon to be engaged and in need of a wedding photographer? Or do you know someone who is? If so, tell them about Eikon Studio Photography! Whether near or far, I would love to photograph your wedding. Check out my website and official Facebook page and don't be shy—share these links with your friends, on your Facebook, and Twitter. You can contact me here. And if you're attending the SBL in November and want a professional headshot for your academic website or University profile page, let me know and we can definitely set that up.

And while most clients have no idea what "Eikon" means or how to pronounce it, I have a feeling that many readers of this blog will have no trouble figuring that one out :)
