Show 23', r/3u5* Princeton University DEPARTMENT OF ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY MCCORMICK HALL, PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 0854O December 8, 1977 Prof. Aziz Atiya Dept. of Languages Marriott Library The University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 Dear Aziz, How sad to know that you were so close to Princeton and that we had no chance to see you. I also regret that I was not able to come to Neward to the meeting and see the Coptic exhibition. 1 have just put the opening of the Metropolitan Museum Exhibition of Late Antique and Early Christian art behind me and the symposium which 1 conducted. It was all done under trying circumstances, since I have a haemorrhage in one eye and see everything distorted. However, the doctors are hopeful that it will clear up. Under separate cover I am sending you and Lola a Metropolitan Museum Bulletin which was made for the exhibition. Concerning cooperators for your Coptic Encyclopedia, I shall write to friends in Russia and Greece and see whether I can elicit the names of experts in the field. With my very best wishes for your trip to Egypt and my repeated regrets on having; missed you, and cordial greetings to you and Lola in which Josepha joins me, I am Yours as ever, AW-Kurt, Weitzmann |
