Abstract

This article overviews a genre of psalis in the Coptic liturgy that have never been studied before. We publish here three psalis that are used in the month of Kiahk and during the Coptic year. We compare the episodes of the Life of Christ treated in these texts. We make a commentary on these psalis.
