Interestingly, we can see that whoever copied this text took two tries to get the image right, since there is an unfinished first attempt on the back. At the top is an image in the typical “magical” style, showing Semne, her limbs splayed and her hair on-end, with menacing box-like “demons” on either side with kharaktêres on their bodies. As a curse, it meets our criterion for content, and if we look at its form, we can see that it fits this criterion too. It is an applied curse text, an object created in a ritual for a man named Victor, and intended to bind a woman named Semne, making her unable to speak, or more specifically, to speak against Victor. To take a concrete example, the image used here is of a piece of rag paper known as P.Würz.Inv. In terms of form, they often use the same verbal patterns (like “I invoke you today”), and often contain images of humans, animals, angels and demons depicted in a recognisably stylised way, as well as the mysterious symbols known as kharaktêres (literally “characters”), which are intended to be a divine language. In terms of content, they typically contain curses, love, protection, healing or divination spells, and the rituals they describe typically follow certain patterns. These texts show certain similarities of both content and form. In this project we’re using it in a fairly specific way to refer to a type of text found written on papyri from Egypt in Coptic. “Magic” is the hardest word to define, and we will discuss some of the different theories and definitions of magic in more detail in future posts. In fact, our scope is even broader than this, because some interesting Coptic magical texts are written on the walls of monks’ cells or of tombs. In practical terms, this means that we are interested not only in texts written on papyrus, for example, on parchment (the treated skins of animals), rag paper, metal sheets, and ostraca – fragments of pottery and limestone flakes often used to write short texts in Egypt. But here we are interested in all of the different objects which form part of the field of papyrology – portable written objects from the ancient Mediterranean and neighbouring areas. “Papyri” refers to the writing material used in Egypt from ancient times, made by separating the fibres of the papyrus plant which grew by the Nile, and pounding them together to form long sheets which were employed in the same way that we use paper today – the word paper, comes, of course, from “papyrus”. Something close to Coptic was probably the main spoken language of Egypt until the ninth century CE, and it continues to be used to this day as the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church, again in much the same way that Latin is still the liturgical language of the Roman Catholic Church. While the earlier stages of Egyptian were written in hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic scripts, Coptic was written using a modified version of the Greek alphabet, which became standardised in the third century CE. Coptic is the latest written stage of the Egyptian language – the descendant of the older stages (Old, Middle, Late and Demotic Egyptian) in much the same way that modern Italian is the descendant of Latin. You can set a background image on your button altenatively. ImageView image = new ImageView(new Image("./view/Close.png")) I don't think there is a way to manage your graphic size from CSS, but you can do it programmatically instead, Button deleteButton = new Button() If the pictures are too big, well, then resize them! Bad solution, but better than nothing. Set size of image in `ImageView` in button where image is set using css fx-background-image: url('myimage.svg') Note: I use an additional lib to use svg file in the following example. ![]() I had the same problem and found a workaround: instead of using -fx-image, I use -fx-background-image.
