Founded by Mani (c. AD 216-276), a Syrian visionary of
Judaeo-Christian background who lived in Persian Mesopotamia,
Manichaeism spread rapidly into the Roman Empire in the third and
fourth centuries AD and became one of the most persecuted heresies
under Christian Roman emperors. The religion established missionary
cells in Syria, Egypt, North Africa and Rome and has in Augustine
of Hippo the most famous of its converts. The study of the religion
in the Roman Empire has benefited from discoveries of genuine
Manichaean texts from Medinet Madi and from the Dakhleh Oasis in
Egypt, as well as successful decipherment of the Cologne Mani-Codex
which gives an autobiography of the founder in Greek. This 2004
book is a single-volume collection of sources for this religion,
and draws from material mostly unknown to English-speaking scholars
and students, offers in translation genuine Manichaean texts from
Greek, Latin and Coptic.
