 ___________\n\nAbstract\n\nMy PhD project examines both Manichaean cosmolo
 gy and cosmogony as such and in comparison with that of Zoroastrianism. Th
 e topic is significant because it concerns not only individual salvation\,
  but the entire religious system. Since its discovery\, Manichaeism has be
 en predominantly considered as an "imitator"\, especially towards Zoroastr
 ianism: in accordance with this view\, Manichaean cosmology has also been 
 considered as a mere copy of the Zoroastrian conception of the cosmos\, th
 e description of which we find in the Pahlavi books\, especially in the Bu
 ndahišn. The project attempts to find a common background between these t
 wo religions and to clarify how Manichaeism and Zoroastrianism shaped cosm
 ological knowledge into two different systems. After an introduction to Ma
 nichaean cosmogony and cosmology and some preliminary remarks on the simil
 arities and differences with Zoroastrianism\, the presentation will focus 
 on explaining the project and discussing its methodology\, theoretical fra
 mework\, and research goals.
