O.H.E. KHS-Burmester's study is a specialist scholarly description of Coptic Orthodox liturgical services, covering the church's rites, sacraments, calendar and its liturgical use of the Coptic language, built from direct documentation of the services themselves rather than a general history of the church's founding. That focused liturgical documentation, checkable against the specific rites it describes, is the study's real evidentiary basis and also its stated limit. This record has not independently traced further scholarly response since 1967. Use it for established facts about Coptic Orthodox liturgical practice specifically; a claim about the church's founding or later institutional history needs a separate historical source.
