Abstract:

The Coptic cunaxic (σύναξις, Synaxeis), wherein come the twentytwochapter titles of each logoc (logos, chapter) of the peuaggelionetan=h (the Living Gospel,) found in Egypt (Fayyūm), contains onlypage-headers and is only partly legible. It helps us to reconstruct partsof the contents of Mānī’s Living Gospel. Although the remaining textof the Middle Persian version of the Living Gospel contains only a partof the first chapter, the Synaxeis containing 22 logia lets us know thatat least the ‘second Meeting’ (synaxis) of its sixth Discourse (logos, i.e.chapter) dealt with the Great Builder (Syr. bn rbʾ; MP rʾz ʿy wzrg) andthat the content of the ninth chapter was about ‘the coming of Jesus theChrist’. The new editions of the codex are of enormous value, giving usnew, previously unimaginable information.
