Note:
SYNAXARIUM (Gr. f7v~a~iipfoP, from o-vvh~yeiv, to bring together), the name given in the Greek Church to a compilation corresponding very closely to the martyrology (q.v.) of the Roman Church.
There are two kinds of synaxaria, simple synaxaria, which are merely lists of the saints arranged in the order of their anniversaries, e.g. the calendar of Morcelli; and historical synaxaria, which give biographical notices besides, e.g. the menology of Basil and the synaxarium of Sirmond.
The notices given in the historical synaxaria are summaries of those in the great menologies, or collections of lives of saints, for the twelve months of the year.
The oldest historical synaxaria apparently go back to the tenth century. The heterodox Eastern churches also have their synaxaria.
THE COPTIC LANGUAGE.
The Coptic language is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language which was once written in Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic scripts.
The Coptic alphabet is a slightly modified form of the Greek alphabet, with some letters (which vary from dialect to dialect) deriving from demotic.
As a living language of daily conversation, Coptic flourished from ca. 200 to 1100.
The last record of its being spoken was during the 17th century.
Coptic survives today as the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Egyptian Arabic is the spoken and national language of Egypt today.
