DESCRIPTION:Floriana Marra \n\n"Some Reflections on the Religious Encounte
 rs in Manichaean Cosmological Texts"\n\nManichaean cosmology and cosmogony
  are considered to be one of the pillars of the religion founded by Mani i
 n 3rd century Mesopotamia. Material on the cosmogony and the description o
 f the universe\, particularly in sources written in Iranian languages\, sh
 ows a wide range of knowledge and beliefs related to different religions. 
 In the studied fragments\, the generally widespread Zoroastrian background
  is complemented by knowledge from diverse religious traditions located be
 tween the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Subcontinent.\nIn my presentati
 on\, after a brief summary of my doctoral project and its main goals\, I g
 ive a general overview of the texts studied to date\, mainly the fragments
  in Sogdian language and in Manichaean and Secular script. Then\, I presen
 t some case of studies that show a close relationship between different re
 ligious communities. Finally\, some preliminary considerations are given\,
  which take into account the work still to be done.\n\n
