Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book

Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xxvi + 198 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:128 col., Language(s):English, Sogdian. ISBN 9782503597904.
¶ Summary The Manichaean Prayer and Confession Book is the best-preserved Manichaean book found in the Turfan area and the only one which survives in the form of a bound codex. It constitutes a precious treasure-trove of information on its three Iranian languages, on the Manichaean religion itself, and on Manichaean codicology and book-art. The surviving parts of this beautifully decorated miniature paper codex include Middle Persian and Parthian hymns and readings for the Bema festival, the high-point of the Manichaean liturgical calendar, followed by an elaborate confessional formula for the Elect in the Sogdian language. Until now this manuscript has been accessible for scholarship only from its 1937 edition in German by W. B. Henning, titled 'Ein manichäisches Bet- und Beichtbuch' (BBB). This new edition provides the first English translation by Nicholas Sims-Williams, the first codicological study by Zsuzsanna Gulacsi and an introduction by John S. Sheldon. It also includes the supplementary Sogdian texts which Henning added to his 'BBB'. It incorporates magnificent colour photos, codicological diagrams, and digital reconstructions never seen before. This beautifully-produced volume appropriately inaugurates the Series Iranica of the Corpus Fontium Manichaeorum.

Indo-Iranian Languages and Peoples

Oxford: British Academy, 2003. Hardcover. ISBN: 0197262856. Proceedings Of The British Academy Series; B & W & Maps; 9.2 X 1 X 6.4 inches; viii, 296 pages; Hard cover has red cloth spine with gold lettering. Slight rubbing to boards. DJ has slight rubbing, scuffing; in a mylar cover. Pages are clean and tight; appears as if unused. Illustrated with b/w maps and pictures. 13 essays included in this title. 'The exciting recent developments in our understanding of the history of the Indo-Iranian languages and their speakers are surveyed and assessed by a group of internationally renowned linguists and archaeologists. In the last few years the materials available for the study of the older Indo-Iranian languages have increased dramatically: there have been sensational discoveries of birch-bark scrolls bearing Buddhist texts in the Gandhari language of north-west India, and of leather documents in Bactrian, the ancient language of northern Afghanistan. Previously known data has been exploited in new ways using innovative techniques for compiling, manipulating and disseminating electronic text and digital images. And archaeological finds in India, Pakistan and Central Asia, including the 'Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex', have given rise to new hypotheses concerning the history and pre-history of the Indo-Iranian peoples. The volume also pays tribute to the pioneer work of the great philologist Sir Harold Bailey (1899-1996) .'. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
