Record summary
The Apocalypse of Samuel of Kalamun is associated with the Coptic monk Samuel of Kalamun and contains prophetic material concerning persecution, rulers, ecclesiastical crisis and future events. It is valuable for comparison because it shows how a late antique Egyptian saint’s authority could be extended through apocalyptic prediction and later transmission. The text exists in a complicated Coptic and Arabic manuscript environment, and scholars must distinguish original composition, later updating and pseudepigraphic attribution. Its prophetic language should not be read as independently verified forecasting.
