The Founder of Manichaeism. Rethinking the Life of Mani
THE FOUNDER OF MANICHAEISM Mani, a third-century preacher, healer and public sage from Sasanian Mesopotamia, lived at a pivotal time and place in the development of the major religions. He frequented the courts of the Persian Empire, debating with rivals from the Judaeo-Christian tradition, philoso- phers and gnostics, Zoroastrians from Iran and Buddhists from India. The community he founded spread from north Africa to south China and lasted for over a thousand years. Yet the genuine biography of its founder, his life and thought, was in good part lost until a series of spectacular discoveries have begun to transform our knowledge of Mani’s crucial role in the spread of religious ideas and practices along the trade routes of Eurasia. This book utilises the latest historical and textual research to examine how Mani was remembered by his followers, caricatured by his opponents, and has been invented and reinvented according to the vagaries of scholarly fashion. is Professor of the History of Religions at the Univer- sity of Sydney and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. He is a Coptic language and Manichaean studies specialist who has published the editio princeps of more than a hundred texts, especially the major archive of fourth-century papyri discovered in Egypt by the Dakhleh Oasis Project and published under his editorship in a series of P. Kellis volumes. He is the author of the standard English translation of the Berlin Kephalaia (), the most extensive compendium of Manichaean teachings known from antiquity; and he leads the ongoing project to edit one of the largest papyrus codices that survives from the ancient world: The Chapters of the Wisdom of My Lord Mani (housed in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin). -

Ha'Penny Bridge Ha'Penny Bridge or Half Penny Bridge crosses Liffey Street Lower to Merchants Arch. The elliptical arched metal bridge originally had a wooden gangway when it was constructed in 1816. The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years. Walsh charged Dubliners Image By: HalfPennyBridge-Public Domain a ha'penny to cross the bridge, which was the same price he had charged Image Source: for a ferry ride. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha'penny_Bridge#mediaviewer/File:HalfPennyBridge.jpg The bridge gets its name from the ha'penny toll but officially it has been called the Liffey Bridge since 1922. It is also known as Triangle, Iron Bridge and Wellington. The bridge remained the only pedestrian bridge crossing the Liffey River until Millennium Bridge was built in 1999.

This year we hope to have an interesting and stimulating exhibition and we rely on you to come and make it a busy and successful event. Admission is FREE this year, so we are anticipating a big increase in the number of visitors. Please encourage your friends and acquaintances to come; they may well re-ignite some old collecting interests. The exhibits on display, if you are already a collector, may give you new ideas for your own collections and, indeed, could incite you to try your hand at exhibiting! The new picture postcard class, which we introduced last year, was widely welcomed and so will now become a feature of Stampa for the foreseeable future. We will have a number of dealers, some new, bringing stock which you may find difficult to access, other than at this exhibition. They may have just what you need to enhance your collection, start a new one, or complete a future exhibit! Philately can be tailored to suit your own particular interests and will provide you with hours of enjoyment. Perhaps you might consider having another look at this hobby and if you want to know more about it, do have a chat at the Information / Stampa Sales stand. -

2003 Chester Beatty Annual Report
CHESTER BEATTY LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 2003 OVERVIEW The year 2003 was particularly active in the Library. Two appointments of significance for the operation of the Library were made during the year - Development Manager, Ms Paula Shalloo and Conservation Manager, Ms Jessica Baldwin. Both posts supported by the fundraising efforts of the Library. The Library was fortunate in attracting the support of a number of generous patrons and grants by two anonymous foundations, one in the United Kingdom and the other in the United States, enabled the Library to open its Conservation Laboratory. With the support of the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, additional equipment was purchased for the Laboratory and contributions by the public enabled particular pieces in the Collections to be conserved during the course of the year. Ms Baldwin, through her participation in the planning of exhibitions, the monitoring of materials for loan to other institutions and practical work of conservation (both preventative and active conservation) has brought an extra dimension to the work of the Library in preserving the Collections. A dedicated conservation fund has been established to maintain and expand on the progress already achieved. Conservation is a core function of the Library and the Conservation Manager post should be part of the regular establishment of the institution. Ms. Shalloo comes to the Library with a variety of experience of development in the university sector. She has brought much needed systematisation to the planning for events, the approach to Foundations and the analysis of the needs of the Library and matching them with potential sources of funding. -
