Conclusion

The Conclusion reviews the spectrum of amulets with Christian elements and the range of hands with which they were written. The formulaic character of many amulets with regards to both conventional and Christian elements allows one to observe, in varying degrees, the ‘conditioned individuality’ of their writers. The salience that a particular element, customary or Christian, held for a scribe may be hard to determine. Nevertheless, some scribes, it is argued, were closer culturally and socially than others to the institutional centre of the Egyptian church. Finally, one must consider what sorts of persons, including clergy, monks, and nuns, would have been able to write the amulets discussed in this book, given the nature of literacy at the time and the range of hands with which the amulets were written.
