Description
Manichaean Texts from the Roman Empire provides a single-volume collection of sources for this ancient religion. Founded by Mani in the 3rd century AD, Manichaeism spread rapidly into the Roman Empire and became one of the most persecuted heresies under Christian Roman emperors. The study of Manichaeism has benefited from recent discoveries of genuine texts from Egypt and the decipherment of the Cologne Mani-Codex. This book draws on material mostly unknown to English-speaking scholars, offering translations of authentic Manichaean texts in Greek, Latin, and Coptic.
