Der Manichäismus bezeichnet eine Weltreligion, die vom 3. bis zum 12./13. Jh. zeitweise von Europa bis nach China verbreitet war. Vor etwa 100 Jahren wurde in Zentralasien auch die Originalliteratur der Manichäer wiederentdeckt. Wissenschaftler erkannten nun, dass sich dort unter dem Einfluss von anderen Religionen (vor allem des Buddhismus) synkretistische Sonderformen entwickelt hatten, die nur interdisziplinär erforscht werden können. Der Band beinhaltet die Referate einer internationalen Arbeitstagung von Turkologen und Iranisten (Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften, 4.-5. März 2010) über die Gattungs- und Werksgeschichte der Literatur des zentralasiatischen Manichäismus. Manichaeism is a world religion that was widespread between Europe and China in various periods between the 3rd and 12th/13th centuries. Some 100 years ago the original literature of the Manicheans was rediscovered in Central Asia. These sources led scholars to realize that here, under the influence of other religions (above all Buddhism), special syncretic forms of the religion had arisen which could only be studied on an interdisciplinary basis. This volume contains the papers of an international workshop held by Turcologists and Iranianists (Göttingen Academy of Sciences, March 4-5, 2010) on the history of the genres and works of the literature of Central Asian Manichaeism.
