| Summary: | The key to understand Mani's life as counted in Acta Archelai ch. 62-66, is to be found in ch. 61. Here the authot, talking in the literary fiction through bishop Archelaos, defines his party (the Great Church) and, implicitely, the opposing one (heresy), by using heresiological tools. A map of heretic is so layed out in the polemical speech of Archelaos. Mani's life, as counted by the heresiologist, contains truths and untruths. By relieving each element of its polemical coating, we obtain a quite reliable picture of the main facts of Mani's life as well as informations on his missionary work. |
