DESCRIPTION:St Paul the Hermit (c. 228-341) has had a compelling lure on t
 he imaginations of Christians from Late Antiquity to the present day. Iden
 tified through the centuries as the first Christian hermit\, Paul is belie
 ved to have lived most of his long life in a cave in the Egyptian desert n
 ear the Red Sea. In time\, his hermitage became the core of a monastic set
 tlement that has existed continuously for almost two millennia and bears m
 aterial witness to sustained devotion to the saint in the form of multiple
  phases of expansion\, wall paintings\, liturgical furnishings\, and a wea
 lth of precious manuscripts. Since 2018\, and in cooperation with the Mona
 stery of St Paul\, an Australian team has been working to digitise and doc
 ument the invaluable manuscript collection. This paper presents the goals 
 and progress of the project to date.\nSpeakers:\nDr Lisa Agaiby (Universit
 y of Divinity\, Australia)\, Dr Sebastian Brock (University of Oxford)
