This article presents the edition of three unpublished Coptic ostraca and is the first in a series celebrating the academic collaboration established in 2024 between the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Egyptian institutions (Ain Shams and Fayoum Universities), supported by the Erasmus+ KA171 programme and the SloveNile platform. Designed to foster Coptic studies in Slovenia, the initiative encompasses introductory courses, advanced paleography workshops, and papyrological training hosted in Ljubljana and Cairo. The editions of the three letters in this article were prepared by Slovenian students, trained and supervised by the two Egyptian co-authors through this initiative.
