FOREWORD
The compilation of an electronic corpus of published Manichaean texts (Database of Manichaean Texts = DbMT) at the end of the last century was one of the very first international collaborative projects among Manichaean scholars. The Database project was conducted under my direction from 1990 to 1994 with financial assistance from a number of grant-giving bodies including the British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust (U.K.). (See S.N.C. Lieu, ‘Manichaean Studies in the Electronic Age’ in H. Preißler and H. Seiwert (edd.) Gnosisforschung und Religionsgeschichte, Festschrift für Prof. Kurt Rudolph, Marburg, 1995, 155-66.) By the time when the project moved base from the United Kingdom to Australia in early 1996, almost all Manichaean texts published before that date had been digitized. (See S.N.C. Lieu, ‘Working catalogue of published Manichaean texts’ in Manichaeism in Central Asia and China, NHMS 27 [Leiden, 1998] 196-246.)
The swift replacement of True-Type fonts by Unicode fonts for most word-processing systems in the late 1990s resulted in the entire electronic corpus, with the exception of texts in Latin, having to be re-fonted and, in many cases, re-digitized. Consequently the digitized texts in the corpus became largely unavailable to scholars in Manichaean studies although some specialist websites dedicated to Indo- European or Altaic languages or Chinese Buddhist (incl. Manichaean) texts were ale to host some collections of Manichaean texts. However, a dedicated (but not Unicode) Manichaean Font became available since the end of the first decade of this century offering the exciting opportunity of presenting the texts in Manichaean Script in the Database to a much higher degree of accuracy. The following selection of texts reproduced in the Manichaean Script is intended therefore to be a scribal experiment, worthy I hope of the Manichaean scribes who first produced these exquisitely copied texts in their monasteries in Qočo.
This second installment of texts from DbMT is exclusively devoted to the texts published by W.B. Henning in his monumental and seminal work: Ein manichäisches Bet- und Beichtbuch APAW zu 1936, 10 (Berlin, 1937). The texts follow the same order as Henning’s original edition. In studying the photographs closely in order to reproduce the text in the Manichaean Script I have made minor changes (justified I hope) to Henning’s great edition and the most important of these are footnoted. As digital photographs of the texts are readily available from Digitales Turfanarchiv, scholars are encouraged to examine the photographs to see if they agree with my minor changes. A new English translation of all the texts in this collection by Dr John Sheldon is deposited with DbMT and my hope is that this excellent translation by an scholar who is a master of the English language (as well as a scholar of Middle Iranian) will one day be published in the Series Iranica and the Corpus Fontium Manichaeorum.
