Note 1142 — Chapter XIII · MANES AND THE MANICHAEANS

Augustine, de Haeresibus, c. 46, p. 210, Oehler. See also Chavannes et Pelliot, op. cit. 1ère ptie, p. 569, and n. 2; p. 572, and nn. 2, 3; and p. 581, and n. 4. MM. Chavannes and Pelliot discuss the question of the organization of the Manichaean Church in the second part of their memoir. See op. cit. 2me ptie, pp. 193, 196 and n. 2. They also give a dissertation on the common life of the Elect. It remains to be seen whether this was anything more than a copy of the monastic institutions of the Buddhists. For obvious reasons, such an organization was not adopted in lands where they had outwardly to conform to other religions.
