Biography

edit

Boud'hors was born on 28 October 1958.[1] Anne Boud'hors studied classics at the École normale supérieure[2] and obtained her grammar agrégation after completing a doctorate.[3] She attended the Greek philology classes of Jean Irigoin, where she encountered a young Philippe Hoffmann.[4]

As a research director at CNRS,[5][6][7] she dedicated herself to the study of the Coptic language and civilization.[8] In collaboration with Éléonore Cellard, François Déroche, and Catherine Louis, she explored Coptic texts related to the birth of Islam.[9] Among other topics, she specialized in the figure of Timothy II.[10] The researcher edits and translates certain texts from the Louvre collections.[11] She was involved, notably, with a Parisian antiquarian to facilitate the publication of a manuscript, and her negotiations lead to the successful publication of the text.[12]

Together with her colleague Nathalie Bosson, she undertook the coordination of Coptic studies and, in 2004, publishes the Proceedings of the Eighth International Congress of Coptic Studies.[13] This effort continued with other new editions of congresses, such as the fourteenth in 2016.[14] Boud'hors is one of the world specialists in Coptic biblical translations, particularly the Gospel of John.[15]

In November 2019, she was appointed a knight of the Ordre national du mérite.[5]
