| Summary: | L'usage manichéen du terme Enthymèsis dans le Kephalia coptes de Berlin / Jean-Daniel Dubois -- The Manichaean women in the Greek and Coptic letters from Kellis / Majella Franzmann -- The figure of the Virgin of Light in the new Chinese Manichaia / Gábor Kósa. "The exceptional place women held in Manichaeism, in everyday life or myth, is the object of this book. Relying on firsthand Manichaean texts in several languages and on polemical sources, as well as on iconography, the various papers analyze aspects of women's social engagement by spreading Mani's doctrine, working to support the community, or corresponding with other Manichaean groups.

The major role played by female entities in the myth is enlightened through occidental and oriental texts and paintings discovered in Central Asia and China"-- |
