This article studies the paintings depicting Saint Onuphrios the Great which decorate the walls of monasteries of Lower Egypt. The author comes to the conclusion that these paintings show a distinctive similarity in their depiction of the saint notwithstanding the fact that they were painted at different locations and in different centuries. They are all based on the depiction of the saint which is found in the shorter version of Onuphrios’ life which came down to us as part of an Arabic-Coptic synaxarion. It is noteworthy that the Coptic icons of Saint Onuphrios which have been preserved do not depict the saint in the same way.
В статье исследуются настенные изображения св. Онуфрия Великого, происходящие из монастырей Нижнего Египта. Автор приходит к выводу, что этот иконографический тип обладал исключительной устойчивостью и на протяжении столетий практически не подвергался изменениям. В основу изображения было положено описание св. Онуфрия, находящееся в краткой версии его «Жития», которая дошла до нас в составе копто-арабского Синаксаря. На сохранившихся коптских иконах этот тип иконографии cв. Онуфрия не представлен.
