Doctoral studies: 2014–2017 Master's degree: 2001 Studies: Egyptology, Classical Archaeology, Classical Philology, Semitic Studies, and Studies of the Christian Orient (1992–2000) Stefan Bojowald's research is deeply rooted in philological and linguistic analysis of ancient Egyptian and Coptic texts. His primary interests include Egyptian lexicography and phonology, with a particular focus on sound changes and word origins. He investigates cultural and linguistic contacts between Egypt and the Near East, drawing parallels between Egyptian, Hebrew, Akkadian, and Ugaritic languages. A distinctive aspect of his work is Egyptian ornithology—the study of birds in ancient Egyptian literature and symbolism. Additionally, he explores Coptic monasticism, especially through the lens of the Vita of Pachom , analyzing textual details, moral themes, and biblical intertextuality. His scholarship often bridges linguistic precision with cultural and religious interpretation. His recent publications, spanning from 2021 to 2025, reveal a consistent output in high-quality journals such as Aula Orientalis , Göttinger Miszellen , N.A.B.U. , and Le Muséon . These articles primarily focus on etymological investigations, phonological shifts (e.g., loss of 'q', 'n', 'h'), lexical analysis of specific terms, and comparative studies across Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages. A significant trend is his exploration of linguistic survivals from ancient Egyptian into Coptic, metaphorical language in religious texts, and the interpretation of monastic literature. His 2023 monograph on the Vita of Pachom underscores his expertise in Coptic hagiography. While no scientific awards are listed in the provided text, Bojowald’s extensive publication record in specialized Egyptological and Coptic journals demonstrates scholarly recognition and contribution to the field. Dr. Bojowald advises students in Egyptology and Coptic studies, particularly through his courses in Coptic language (Koptisch I + II) and Coptic reading. There is no public information on external research grants he may have received. He is an active academic with a strong focus on textual analysis and linguistic research. There is no information provided about specific research labs or collaborative teams led by Dr. Bojowald. However, his membership in academic platforms and frequent publication in collaborative journals suggest participation in broader scholarly communities and networks within Egyptology and Coptic studies.
