The present work aims to discuss the political-religious interactions established by the Coptic Patriarchate of Alexandria in the period of the patriarchal governments of Benjamin to Simon (622-701), as well as some of its antecedents and immediate consequences. The aim is to address issues of political action and the formation of the coptic identity under the double impact of the continuing theological-ecclesiastical polemic in its refusal of byzantine imperial orthodoxy founded on the Council of Chalcedon (451) and the arab-muslim conquest of Egypt (639-641). The argumentation is structured in three successive and complementary stages. First, a sizing of the role of Egypt within the roman world, from its annexation by the Empire to the consequences of the Council of Chalcedon. Then a reconstitution of the political-religious conjuncture and the performance of the Egyptian social agents when the Arab-Muslim conquest, paying attention to their immediate antecedents and consequences. Third, an analytical description of the interactions established by the Patriarchate Coptic of Alexandria from the annexation of Egypt by the young Caliphate to the beginning of the eighth century, with a view to their insertion in the specific sphere of dhimmitude. Finally, we try to think about the impact of such interactions on the constitution of coptic identity as a community that describes itself as firmly orthodox, autochthonous and permanently suffering, as well as the complex relationship between this self-image and the tradition of direct action of egyptian christianity. The research was based on the reading of the History of Patriarchs of Coptic Church of Alexandria, official chronicle of this institution, as well as, secondarily, in other historical documents on the situation of egyptian christianity in the periods considered.
