Note 1069 — Chapter XIII · MANES AND THE MANICHAEANS

Reading edition

En Nadîm in Kessler, op. cit. pp. 393 sqq.; Flügel, op. cit. pp. 90 sqq. Theodore bar Khôni (Pognon, op. cit. pp. 189 sqq.), gives a much more elaborate account of the creation of man and the other animals, for which and for its explanation the reader must be referred to the elaborate analysis of M. Cumont (Cosmog. Manich. pp. 34-49, and App. II., “La Séduction des Archontes”). It should be noted, however, that some part of this story was known to St Augustine. See especially contra Faustum, Bk VI. c. 8.
