Review(s)
« Ce nouveau volume de la « Biblia Manichaica » figurera désormais en première place parmi les instruments de travail auxquels les spécialistes du manichéisme peuvent recourir. On ne peut que remercier les auteurs pour les services qu’ils rendent ainsi aux chercheurs. » (Paul-Hubert Poirier, dans Laval théologique et philosophique , 78/1, 2022, p. 160)
“To summarize, the last two volumes of Biblica Manichaeica provide detailed insights into how Manichaeans used biblical allusions and quotations in their writings (…) Overall, these volumes offer a valuable contribution to scholarship, as they provide empirical evidence to examine and clarify general statements about the centrality of the Bible in Manichaean hagiographical, doctrinal, and liturgical texts.” (Mattias Brand, in Biblioteca Orientalis, LXXX/3-4, 2023, p. 388)
