 ______________________\n\nAbstract\n\nMy PhD project examines both Manicha
 ean cosmology and cosmogony as such and in comparison with that of Zoroast
 rianism. The topic is significant because it concerns not only individual 
 salvation\, but the entire religious system. Since its discovery\, Manicha
 eism has been predominantly considered as an "imitator"\, especially towar
 ds Zoroastrianism: in accordance with this view\, Manichaean cosmology has
  also been considered as a mere copy of the Zoroastrian conception of the 
 cosmos\, the description of which we find in the Pahlavi books\, especiall
 y in the Bundahišn. The project attempts to find a common background betw
 een these two religions and to clarify how Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism 
 shaped cosmological knowledge into two different systems. After an introdu
 ction to Manichaean cosmogony and cosmology and some preliminary remarks o
 n the similarities and differences with Zoroastrianism\, the presentation 
 will focus on explaining the project and discussing its methodology\, theo
 retical framework\, and research goals.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n
