Manichaean art (original) (raw)
Manichaeism has a rich tradition of visual art, starting with Mani himself writing the Book of pictures One of Mani's primary beliefs was that the arts (namely painting, calligraphy, and music) were of the same esteem as the divine spirit (Middle Persian: Mihryazd), believing that the creation of art was comparable to god's creation of living forms, and therefore the experience of art was more of a divine act than any other in the material world. Throughout the history of Manichaeism, didactic books of paintings were used to illustrate the religion's teachings and beliefs.

| dbo:abstract | Le manichéisme a une riche tradition d'art visuel, à commencer par Mani lui-même écrivant le Livre d'images. L'une des principales croyances de Mani était que les arts (à savoir la peinture, la calligraphie et la musique) étaient de la même estime que l'esprit divin (moyen persan : Mihryazd), croyant que la création de l'art était comparable à la création par Dieu de formes vivantes, et donc l'expérience de l'art était plus un acte divin que tout autre dans le monde matériel. Tout au long des 1 400 ans d'histoire du manichéisme, des livres didactiques de peintures ont été utilisés pour illustrer les enseignements et les croyances de la religion. Dès le début, le prophète Mani a envisagé sa religion (qui comprenait les enseignements de Zarathoustra, de Bouddha et du Christ) comme une entité universelle et donc « transculturelle », conduisant à sa vaste propagation de l'Europe à l'Asie. La mission manichéenne a utilisé des moyens de communication à multiples facettes (y compris oraux, textuels et picturaux) afin que les croyances puissent s'adapter à la variété des cultures dans lesquelles elle est entrée. Ces livres d'images couvraient les principaux thèmes du manichéisme, tels que son dualisme de lumière et d'obscurité, les cartes d'un univers religieux, le processus de salut humain, ainsi que divers prophètes et divinités manichéens, et étaient considérés comme des pièces principales du canon manichéen. Au sujet des peintures originales de Mani, le Dr Zsuzsanna Gulácsi note que les « peintures ont été créées d'abord au milieu du troisième siècle en Mésopotamie avec la participation directe de Mani [...] et ont été préservées plus tard en étant copiées et adaptées à une grande variété de normes artistiques et culturelles, au fur et à mesure que la religion se répandait sur le continent asiatique ». Gulácsi cite les peintures sur soie de l'ère Yuan, le Diagramme manichéen de l'univers et le Sermon sur l'enseignement du salut de Mani, comme exemples de variations sinisées de la tradition de Mani consistant à utiliser un livre d'images comme méthode d'enseignement, ce qui permet de mieux comprendre la cosmologie du manichéisme chinois de l'époque. Après la découverte de fragments d'art ouïghour - manichéen dans les ruines de Tourfan, dans les régions occidentales, les chercheurs ont commencé à se tourner vers les vestiges récemment découverts de l'art du livre manichéen afin d'évaluer à travers les fragments ce qui pourrait ressembler au style original de l'Arzhang.

Throughout the history of Manichaeism, didactic books of paintings were used to illustrate the religion's teachings and beliefs. From the beginning, the prophet Mani envisioned his religion (which included the teachings of Zarathustra, Buddha, and Christ) as a universal and therefore “transcultural” entity, leading to its vast spread from Europe to Asia. The Manichaean mission employed multifaceted means of communication (including oral, textual, and pictorial) so the beliefs may adapt to the variety of cultures it entered. These picture books covered the primary themes of Manichaeism, such as its dualism of light and darkness, maps of a religious universe, the process of human salvation, as well as various Manichaean prophets and deities, and were considered principal pieces of the Manichaean canon. On the subject of Mani's original paintings, Dr. Zsuzsanna Gulácsi notes that the “paintings were created first in mid-third century Mesopotamia with direct involvement from Mani ... and were later preserved by being copied and adapted to a wide variety of artistic and cultural norms, as the religion spread across the Asian continent.” Gulácsi points to the Yuan-era silk paintings Manichaean Diagram of the Universe and Sermon on Mani's Teaching of Salvation as examples of sinicized variations of Mani's tradition of using a Book of Pictures as a method of teaching, specifically providing insight into the cosmology of the era's Chinese Manichaeism. After the discovery of fragmentary pieces of Uyghur-Manichean art in the ruins of Turfan, Western Regions, scholars began turning to the newly uncovered remains of Manichaean book art in order to assess through the fragments what could resemble the original style of the Arzhang.
