Agapius (Manichaean) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Agapius (or Agapios) was a Christian philosopher associated with Manichaeism. He is supposed to have lived in the fourth or fifth century. He is chiefly known for being mentioned in the Bibliotheca, a work by Photius, the ninth-century Patriarch of Constantinople. He is listed by Photius, as well as Peter of Sicily, as being among the twelve disciples of Mani. However, in earlier sixth-century works, such as the abjuration formula of Zacharias Mitylene and the handbook on abjuration of heresies by Presbyter Timothy of Constantinople, he is not listed as a Manichean but merely as the author of a work entitled the Heptalogue (Heptalogus).
