Iain Gardner, Majella Franzmann, Gunner B. Mikkelsen (eds). Pages: x + 319 p.Illustrations:62 col., 2 tables b/w. Language(s):English. Publication Year:2026. ISBN: 978-2-503-62178-4. Brepols. Hardback .- Summary The study of Manichaeism has advanced rapidly over the last century with the recovery of remarkable new texts and a great expansion in the known spread and influence of the religion. This volume has two major themes: A focus on liturgy and communal practice rather than doctrine; a holistic study from the Mediterranean world of late antiquity to early modern China. Contributors utilise the latest discoveries and their papers include original work on previously unedited texts and also entirely new material. The volume is a product of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project awarded in 2019.
