Discovered in Egypt’s Fayum region in 1929, these Coptic codices contain a cross-section of the sacred literature of the Manichaean religion. Early work on the collection in the 1930s was cut short by the ravages of the second world war. Recent decades have brought multiple new editorial projects, on which this volume offers a comprehensive set of status reports, as well as individual studies on aspects of the Manichaean religion informed by the library’s contents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables   Abbreviations      Introduction    Jason BeDuhn, Paul Dilley and Iain Gardner      Part 1: Reports on Editorial Work on the Medinet Madi Library   1 Towards an Edition of the Coptic Manichaean Synaxeis Codex: Another Progress Report    Wolf-Peter Funk†      2 Comments on a Possible Second Text in the Coptic Manichaean Synaxeis Codex    Paul Mirecki      3 The Chester Beatty Kephalaia: Report on Work in Progress    Paul Dilley      4 Report on the Manichaean Codices of Medinet Madi: The Epistles  (P.
