Product Description
This volume contains several presentations of new Manichaean source materials and provocative essays upon them. The studies are authored by an international group of leading scholars in the fields of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern studies, comparative religion, early Christianity, patristics, Turkic studies and Coptology. Throughout the book the studies present and discuss a variety of source materials from Coptic, Latin and Turkic papyri, to sources gleaned from heresiological texts, and to art-historical sources. The sources represent the broad geographical spread of Manichaeism from Algeria to China. The book should prove to be foundational for future scholarly studies on the sources presented and for studies in Manichaeism and late antique religions in general.
