Abstract

The Apostle of Jesus Christ, Mani, declares himself to be a “solitary one” (monērēs) no less than three times in the Cologne Mani Codex (CMC). Through a literary analysis that contextualizes the CMC both with contemporary Syrian depictions of anchoritic ascetics, on the one hand, and the hairy mountaineering anchorite (CMC 126.4-129.17) with Mani, on the other hand, this article argues that the redactor of the CMC sought to portray Mani as an anchoritic ascetic. Mani’s declaration to be a monērēs is therefore not incidental, but an essential marker of his identity, even as he sets out into the world as the Apostle of Jesus Christ.

隐士摩尼，使徒摩尼:科隆摩尼抄本和叙利亚禁欲主义

耶稣基督的使徒，马尼，宣称自己是一个“孤独的人”(monērēs)不少于三次在科隆马尼法典(CMC)。通过文学分析，一方面将CMC与当代叙利亚对苦行僧的描述以及与Mani一起的多毛登山隐士(CMC 126.4-129.17)结合起来，另一方面，本文认为CMC的编纂者试图将Mani描绘成一个苦行僧。因此，马尼宣称自己是monērēs并不是偶然的，而是他身份的一个重要标志，即使他以耶稣基督的使徒的身份进入世界。
