Abstract
Fayoum is one of the most prominent centers of Coptic textile
production, distinguished by its artistic skill and precision in design, in
addition to the fact that it contains written inscriptions that were not just
written decoration, but rather a means of expressing faith and protecting
the person or place in which the textile was used, as well as identifying
its identity, sometimes identifying the Coptic workshops in fayoum and
it also reflects the language used and some linguistic and cultural
influences through some of the religious supplications and texts used.
Therefore, this research sheds light on the nature of these inscriptions,
knowing their content and significance through a group of models, the
most important of which is known as Tiraz style, which features Arabic
inscriptions, along with a Christian Tiraz style, which features Christian
themed inscriptions, including crosses and Christian letters.
