20.500.12556/RUL-167577 Coptic textiles from the architect Milan Kovač’s private collection Koptske tkanine iz zasebne zbirke arhitekta Milana Kovača This article aims to reconstruct the circumstances surrounding the purchase and preservation history of a previously unknown collection of Coptic textiles from the private holdings of architect Milan Kovač (b. 1940). Acquired during Kovač’s study trip to Egypt and Sudan in 1964, the textiles were obtained from a souvenir seller he met while wandering around Cairo. The seller claimed they originated from an ancient rubbish dump in the Fustat area, Cairo’s oldest historic district and the first Islamic capital of Egypt, renowned for its archaeological significance and as an important hub for textile production. The collection of Coptic textiles that Kovač has held in private possession for six decades has undergone minimal conservation efforts and remains in urgent need of restoration. The article outlines the collection’s authentication, analysis, and conservation plans. The paper concludes with the first-ever publication of photographs of the entire collection. Članek poskuša rekonstruirati okoliščine nakupa in zgodovino hrambe prej neznane zbirke koptskih tkanin, ki se nahaja v zasebni lasti arhitekta Milana Kovača (r. 1940). Zbirko koptskih tkanin je Kovač leta 1964 med študijskim potovanjem po Egiptu in Sudanu kupil od prodajalca spominkov, ki ga je po naključju srečal med sprehajanjem po Kairu. Prodajalec je trdil, da so bile tkanine najdene na antičnem smetišču v Fustatu, zgodovinski četrti starega Kaira in najstarejši islam ski prestolnici Egipta, ki je bil pomembno središče za proizvodnjo tkanin. Zbirka koptskih tkanin, ki je v Kovačevi lasti že šest desetletij, je bila deležna le minimalne zaščite in jo je nujno temeljito restavrirati. Članek obravnava načrte za avtentifikacijo, analizo in nadaljnjo hrambo zbirke. Članek zaokroža prva objava fotografij celotne zbirke. coptic textiles Christian Egypt private collections Milan Kovač Fustat koptske tkanine krščanski Egipt zasebne zbirke Milan Kovač Fustat true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-02-28 13:38:22 2025-02-28 13:38:23 2025-03-03 08:09:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 71-93 no. 2 Vol. 6 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 745.52:271.722 2670-6210 10.4312/clotho.6.2.71-93 227656451 Ciglenecki,+Elnaggar,+Smolic.pdf Ciglenecki,+Elnaggar,+Smolic.pdf 1 0D3BA4F9A77CA3C7E13A12B5C7258E0D b0a55d75644691b185d1c15e68f22d7d9aa9fd9ad76378f987670d061455784a 1516b634-f5d1-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200233 https://journals.uni-lj.si/clotho/article/view/21412/17994 1 fa5377e8-f5cf-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200232 Fakulteta za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo Fakulteta za arhitekturo Clotho 0 0 0
