Egyptian Church Ordinance
The Egyptian Church Ordinance is an early Christian collection of canons regulating the main features of church life.[1]
It contains thirty-one canons regulating ordination, liturgy and other features of church life. It is called Egyptian because it first became known in the West in languages connected with Egypt.[1]
In 1883, Lagarde published the same canons in
Bohairic and Sahidic. The original text, though not yet found, was doubtlessly Greek.[1]
