Ich suche Literatur zum Nonnenkloster des hl. Theodor hinter Malqata. Im Wikivoyage steht nur was von einem alten Vorgängerbau unter dem modernen Kloster, das erscheint mir aber falsch, die Anlage wirkt schon ziemlich alt und hat sogar vermauerte Steinblöcke mit Hieroglyphen. Die Nonnen sprachen leiter kaum englisch und so konnten wir uns keinen Reim aus ihren Erklärungen machen, sie zeigten uns immer ein rotes Tuch (Relique?).
Hat jemand einen Link oder einen Literaturtip?

Hallo Kollegen,
anbei einige Informationen hinsichtlich des Konvents.
On January 24 a pilgrimage which is dedicated to St. Theodore Stratelatus is held at the monastery.
The pilgrimage is held on July 27.
The convent of St. Theodore the Warrior is located about 500 meters southwest of Medinet Habu.
Meinardus, Coptic Saints and Pilgrims, pp. 37, 82
After entering the convent, one passes through a small courtyard to the church. The Church of Saint Theodore is divided into five sections from east to west, the most eastern being the haikals, the most western being the new gynaecium.
The church has four haikals, which are dedicated from north to south to the Holy Virgin Mary, Saint Claudius, Saint Theodore, and Saint Michael. The haikals screens are adorned with modern religious pictures. The roof consists of seventeen domes resting on arches. The church is illuminated through small holes in the domes. The baptistery is situated at the southern end of the church.
Saint Theodore is one of the most popular Egyptian warrior saints. In Euchaites, Persia, he fought and defeated a dragon. The saint was tortured and suffered martyrdom during the Diocletian persecution.
During the first years of the pontificate of Shenuda III., the convent was repopulated with several nuns. The patrons of the convent are Saints Theodore and Claudius. The tomb of the internationally known Egyptologist Labib Habachi (1905-84) is in the convent.
Meinardus, Two Thousand Years of Coptic Christianity, pp. 241-242
The monastery is mentioned in Meinardus, Christians in Egypt, p. 49
The monastery has been renovated lately. Now there is a library with shop and a playground for children.
The church has been built in Pachomian- style with many cupolas. Its five haikals are dedicated to: (From left to right)
1. St. George (Mari Girgis)
2. Virgin Mary
3. St. Tadros al Muharib (St. Theodore Stratelatus)
4. St. Egladios (St. Claudius)
5. Archangel Michael
Inside the church are many depictions of several saints, among them Anba Kyrillos, Anba Wanass, Um Dolagy, The Three Felahin and Sitt Damiana.
I observed several blocks with engraved hieroglyphs; they might have been taken from Medinet Habu.
According to the nun, St. Tadros helps when mentally and physically sick, with problems during pregnancy and is appealed to when a child is wanted.
The English translation of the Arabic name of the monastery is "Monastery of the Martyr Theodore the Warrior".
St. Tadros was born in Antioch as the son of the minister Sedray Khows, his uncle was King Abd el Mawes. He was martyred on the 12th Tuba in 306 AD.

It seems that local sources concerning the monastery are missing. According to examinations the eldest parts of the building can be dated into the 13th / 14th century. (Somers Clark, Christian Antiquities in the Nile Valley, Oxford, 1912, pp. 116-118; Monneret de Villard, Deyr al- Muhharraqa, Milano, 1928, p. 12; P. Grossmann, in Oriens Christianuns 59, 1975, p. 161 f.)
It is possible that there has been an older building in the same place.
The modern church is first mentioned by R. Lepsius (Briefe aus Aegypten, No. 30).
An accurate description of the premises was made by Somers Clarke at the beginning of the 19th century. He observed that some structures in the south, west and north were made in the 19th century. The community of the nearby villages of Gurna and al- Bu- erat seems to have been on the rise at the end of the 19th respective beginning of the 20th century.
There are four altars today, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, St. Claudius, St. Theodore and the Archangel Michael.

Timm, Das christlich- koptische Ägypten in arabischer Zeit Vol. 2, p. 796
A Coptic document which was written about 600 AD by Bishop Abraham from Armant mentions a Church of Saint Theodore. It is proven that this church was located in the diocese of Armant, if the church was located near Djeme can not be proven.
