‎Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxvi + 198 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:128 col., Language(s):English, Sogdian. ISBN 9782503597904.‎

‎Summary The Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book is the best-preserved Manichaean book found in the Turfan area and the only one which survives in the form of a bound codex. It constitutes a precious treasure-trove of information on its three Iranian languages, on the Manichaean religion itself, and on Manichaean codicology and book-art. The surviving parts of this beautifully decorated miniature paper codex include Middle Persian and Parthian hymns and readings for the Bema festival, the high-point of the Manichaean liturgical calendar, followed by an elaborate confessional formula for the Elect in the Sogdian language. Until now this manuscript has been accessible for scholarship only from its 1937 edition in German by W. B. Henning, titled 'Ein manich isches Bet- und Beichtbuch' (BBB). This new edition provides the first English translation by Nicholas Sims-Williams, the first codicological study by Zsuzsanna Gulacsi and an introduction by John S. Sheldon. It also includes the supplementary Sogdian texts which Henning added to his 'BBB'. It incorporates magnificent colour photos, codicological diagrams, and digital reconstructions never seen before. This beautifully-produced volume appropriately inaugurates the Series Iranica of the Corpus Fontium Manichaeorum.‎

‎Summary This volume contains a collection of 54 mostly smaller contributions written since 2015 not printed so far. Based on already published texts and editions or on newly found materials they concern various aspects of the culture of the Uyghurs in the medieval period extending from the 10th up to the 14th centuries. The papers are arranged to four groups: I. Christiana, II. Manichaica, III. Buddhica, IV. Varia. Although the articles treat marginal problems they hopefully contribute to the uncovering of the once flourishing and impressive culture of the ancient Uyghurs in Central Asia whose texts show us a world-historical model of acculturation. In the field of Buddhism, the fragments discussed here are on the one hand additions to already well known works such as the Da?akarmapath?vad?nam?l? or the Vimalak?rtinirde?a commentary, but on the other hand also numerous fragments of original Uyghur texts written for different purposes and on different occasions. Several contributions dealing with words and matters discuss the results of recent editions of ancient Uyghur materials. Old Uyghur texts are written in a "dead" language, but with the constantly growing corpus its importance for all facets of the medieval culture of Central Asia is increasing. The texts convey a vivid picture of a reality which however remains imperfect for us despite the efforts in various and manifold directions.

Il est question ici de la partie centrale de ce texte (79, 13-107, 23), conserv dans un codex grec de poche , datant probablement du IVe si cle : les expos s, mis sous l'autorit de trois traditionnistes manich ens (Bara es, Zach as et Timoth e), des divergences et des conflits entre les responsables de la communaut et le jeune Mani, qui ont abouti la tenue d'un synode o a t d cid e sa mise au ban. Abandonnant ce groupe, Mani d bute la diffusion de sa nouvelle religion . Cet ouvrage ajoute une pi ce importante et novatrice l' tude de l'elkasa sme, du manich isme et du mand isme, mettant en lumi re des connections et des relations entre ces mouvements.

‎Summary Born in Persian Mesopotamia in the year 232 CE, the self-proclaimed prophet Mani promulgated a dualist faith that rapidly spread throughout the Roman Empire, Central Asia and China. This monograph comprises a series of studies of the Manichaean conceptualization of death and the afterlife in the context of Manichaean soteriology, eschatology and anthropology. Material, documentary and liturgical evidence is analysed to enrich knowledge of Manichaean funeral ritual and mourning practice. The book explores the thematic symbolism of the corpse in Manichaean parabolic literature, offering fresh interpretations and exploring the influence of Buddhist teachings on the impermanence of the body, karma and metempsychosis. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: The Journey of the Soul Chapter 2: The Hour of Need Chapter 3: The Care of the Dead Chapter 4: The Death of Mani Chapter 5: The Parable of the Drunk Man and the Corpse Chapter 6: The Parable of the Monk and the Virgin Chapter 7: The Parable of the Corpse and the Treasure Chapter 8: Manichaean Doctrine, Karma and Metempsychosis‎
