The Collection Of Safey The Son Of The Honey Maker (transliterated Arabic: al-Magmou al-Safawy le-Ibn al-Assal) was originally published in Arabic, in Cairo, Egypt, in 1245 A.D. It is a collection of Church and civil laws based on Coptic Orthodox norms and traditions.

It should be noted that the Coptic Orthodox Church does not endorse some statements in Al-Assal describing obsolete practices and/or presenting inaccurate, or even wrong references to official Church laws. However, the Arabic text remains an important historic document that is frequently cited in scholarly circles and therefore deserves studying.
