Identified as biblical passages, they are published here and offer the opportunity to return to the question of the existence and contents of the library of the monastery of Saint-Phoibammon: firstly, to what extent can these fragments be considered as remains of such a library? Then, since the publication of Włodzimierz Godlewski's monograph on this monastery, are there other clues that make new hypotheses possible?

Our first aim is to present the changes that the testamentary model underwent at the end of the Byzantine period in Egypt, to highlight new elements which entered wills in this period, and show how some patterns of written communication survived into the post-conquest period. The second objective is to examine Coptic (in the sense of the language) testamentary practice, hence what steps one had to undertake in order to complete a valid will and to what extent those steps differed in comparison to the time before the conquest. Last but not least, our aim is to investigate the differences and similarities in legal and notarial/scribal practices in Egypt before and after the Arab conquest as well as ways of legal transmission: whether elements of Roman testamentary law were transmitted into Coptic testamentary practices via patterns and scribes applying them or as an effect of learned application of Roman institutions.
