Varia Manichaica, the third vol­ume of the Analec­ta Manichaica — a sub-series of the Cor­pus Fontium Manichae­o­rum — is final­ly pub­lished. This vol­ume brings togeth­er the works of some of the best known and most estab­lished schol­ars in Gnos­tic and Manichaean stud­ies, Ira­nol­o­gists and art his­to­ri­ans. It con­tains two impor­tant and indis­pens­able cat­a­logues of Tur­fan texts and also stud­ies cov­er­ing top­ics such as cos­mogony, hym­nol­o­gy and man­u­script illu­mi­na­tion. A num­ber of Tur­fan texts in Sog­di­an and Uygur are pub­lished here for the first time.
