Well, naturally it does. "A Concise
Coptic-English Lexicon" by Richard Smith;
published by Wm. Eerdmans, 1983. It's very short,
about 80pp.
A nice complement might be "The Gospel of Thomas"
by Harold Bloom; Harper Collins, 1992, which has
the Coptic and English translation side by side.
The latter should be avail. at Amazon or B&N or
similar. I don't know about the former, as I
found it in a second hand book shop.
