Description
Western Manichaeism and the Turfan Discoveries is a book written by F. Legge that delves into the history and beliefs of the Manichaean religion, which was founded in the third century AD by the Persian prophet Mani. The book focuses specifically on the Western branch of Manichaeism, which spread throughout Europe and North Africa in the fourth and fifth centuries AD.The author uses the Turfan discoveries, a collection of ancient Manichaean texts found in the Turfan region of China in the early 20th century, as a primary source of information about the religion. Legge examines the beliefs and practices of Manichaeism, including its dualistic worldview, its emphasis on spiritual liberation, and its syncretic blending of elements from various religious traditions.The book also explores the historical context in which Manichaeism emerged and spread, including interactions with other religions such as Christianity and Zoroastrianism. Legge discusses the persecution of Manichaeans by various rulers and the eventual decline of the religion in the Middle Ages.Overall, Western Manichaeism and the Turfan Discoveries provides a comprehensive overview of the Western branch of the Manichaean religion and its place in the broader history of religion and spirituality.1897.
