Prolegomena to a History of Islamicate Manichaeism provides an
annotated anthology of primary sources highlighting Manichaeism, a
dualist religion emerging in Mesopotamia in the third century and
which spread rapidly throughout the Roman and Sasanian empires
until it was violently suppressed by both polities. It nevertheless
continued to flourish - largely clandestinely - in the Near East,
Central Asia, and China until it finally disappeared at the
beginning of the seventeenth century. This book translates and
assesses the importance of a number of Arabic, Persian, Syriac, and
even Hebrew language testimonies for a better understanding of the
cultural importance of what many scholars characterize as the first
'world religion'.
