Manichaeism

=== Greek life of Mani, Cologne codex ===
In Egypt, a small [[codex]] was found and became known through antique dealers in [[Cairo]]. It was purchased by the [[University of Cologne]] in 1969. Two of its scientists, Henrichs and Koenen, produced the first edition known since as the [[Cologne Mani-Codex]], which was published in four articles in the {{lang|de|Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik}}. The ancient [[papyrus]] manuscript contained a [[Greek language|Greek]] text describing the life of Mani. Thanks to this discovery, much more is known about the man who founded one of the most influential world religions of the past.<ref name="Sundermann-2011">{{Cite web |last=Sundermann |first=Werner |date=2011-10-26 |title=COLOGNE MANI CODEX |url=https://iranicaonline.org/articles/cologne-mani-codex-parchment |access-date=2023-03-02 |website=[[Encyclopædia Iranica]] |publisher=Encyclopædia Iranica Foundation |language=en-US}}</ref>
