The first volume of the 'Series Sinica' contains the text and translation of one of the longest and best preserved of all Manichaean texts in Chinese. Found in Dunhuang at the beginning of the last century, the discovery and first publication of the so-called Traitémanichéen with French translation by Édouard Chavannes and Paul Pelliot (1911) was a sensation as it proved for the first time to Western scholars that the religion of Mani reached China from Iraq via Central Asia in the Tang period thanks to the Silk Road. This first-ever critical edition with English translation of the full document with revised editions of parallels in Parthian, Sogdian and Uyghur (Old Turkish) from Turfan by a team of experts is a major contribution to Manichaean scholarship. As the main subject matter of the text is the Light-Mind (Nous), it will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars of Gnosticism and of Medieval heresies. The text and translation are accompanied by a full set of word-indices, and a full-scale Commentary with additional textual material from Turfan will appear as Pars Secunda of the volume in the near future.

"The Mogao cave temples on China's fabled Silk Road constitute one of the world's most significant sites of Buddhist art. Founded by monks as an isolated monastery in the late fourth century, Mogao evolved into a spiritual and artistic mecca renowned throughout China and central Asia. Here, in some five hundred caves carved into rock cliffs at the edge of the Gobi Desert, was preserved the pageantry of one thousand years - miles of wall paintings, more than two thousand statues, magnificent works on silk and paper, and tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts." "Cave Temples of Mogao tells the fascinating story of this remarkable site and of nearby Dunhuang, desert gateway to China. It also describes the long-term collaboration between the Getty Conservation Institute and Chinese authorities to preserve the Mogao shrines."--Jacket.
