This new text presents Mani at the heart of Sasanian Iran in dialogue with its sages and nobles, acting as a cultural mediator between East and West and interpreter of Christian, Iranian, and Indian traditions. Nine chapters study Mani?s appropriation of the ?law of Zarades? and of Iranian epic; suggest a new understanding of his last days; and analyse his formative role in the history of late antique religions. These interdisciplinary studies advance research in several fields and will be of interest to scholars of Manichaeism, Sasanian Iran, and the development of religions in Late Antiquity. 410 0$aNag Hammadi and Manichaean studies ;$vVolume 87. 606 $aManichaeism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aManichaeism. 676 $a299/.932 700 $aGardner$b Iain$0283783 702 $aBeDuhn$b Jason 702 $aDilley$b Paul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463631703321 996 $aMani at the court of the Persian kings$91930464 997 $aUNINA
