Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of previously unknown ancient inscriptions, offering precious insights into the beliefs and practices of an enigmatic Gnostic sect, the Mandaeans. Through the analysis of these writings, the author skillfully reconstructs the sect's unique mythology, exploring the influence of Manichaeism, Marcionism, and other pre-Christian movements. The inscriptions shed light on the Mandaeans' cosmology, their complex angelology, and their intricate system of rituals and incantations. The author places these findings within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions, revealing the rich tapestry of ideas that shaped this fascinating faith.
