Publication of ten Coptic ostraca by a group of Egyptian students under the direction of the authors. They include three devotional exercises, four letters, two legal texts and one accounting document. They originate, except for one or two, from the Theban region.

It is a collective article under the supervision and with the introduction of Prof. Anne Boud'hors and Esther Garel, with nine other colleagues, to edit ten Coptic ostraca from the collection preserved at the IFAO.
These ostraca bear different kinds of texts (three devotional exercises; four letters; two legal texts; and an accounting document). Most of them are most probably from the Theban Region, which can give us a glance at the daily life, in that region, in the 7-8th centuries AD.
