Reviews

Many insightful contributions... in this volume [and] lavish colourplates [...] a wonderful supplement to the intellectually stimulating volume and result in discussions that enrich both the mind and the eye. - Paul Foster, University of Edinburgh, in: The Expository Times 127 (3) Like all the previous collections of proceedings of the International Association of Manichaean Studies, this latest volume greatly advances many aspects of Manichaean studies: history, theology, codicology and iconography, to name but a few. Samuel N.C. Lieu, Zeitschrift fur antikes Christentum, 2016>
