  • Maharaja: The Splendour of India's Royal Courts

    A V Williams Jackson, Anna Jackson et al.ARTICLEAsian Affairs2009

    A curtain-raiser for the current “Maharaja” Exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum, which explains the evolution of Indian concepts of kingship from the early18th to the mid-twentieth centuries. The article describes how pageantry and symbolism formed part of the essentials of kingship, together with martial prowess and patronage of the arts. The British Raj thus took over a valid existing pattern of behaviour, which however became increasi…

    As STATED above,' MinI conceded that there might remain a certain small element of light so closely mingled with the darkness that it would fail of disjunction through the action of the sun and moon and could be separated only by the universal conflagration, whereupon the cruder mass was to be relegated to oblivion. This conglomerate and undigested mass is referred to in both the Greek and the Syriac texts by the Greek word 83cioi lump, clod, coa…

  • The “Fifty-seven Years” in the Zoroastrian Doctrine of the Resurrection

    Open AccessA V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1928References: 1

    The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is a familiar one in Zoroastrianism from the Avesta and kindred sources. It has long been a puzzle to me, however, to understand why the Pahlavi Books assign the exact number “fifty-seven years” at the end of the last millennium to the events connected with the resurrection of the dead (Phl. rīstāxēz ) and the renovation of the world (Phl. frašōkarṯ , Av. frašōkәrәti ) by the Saviour or Benefactor (Phl…

  • The Doctrine of Metempsychosis in Manichaeism

    A V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1925

    THE FACT THAT Manl taught the doctrine of metempsychosis, ini one form or another, is clear from the old non-Manichaean writings that relate to his religion and from the actual Manichaean documents discovered in recent years. Mdnl's own animistic conception oi the particles of light as diffused through all sentient nature in his dualistic scheme of the universe, and as requiring to be restored to their original celestial abode, would of itself fa…

  • The “Second Evocation” in the Manichaean System of Cosmogony

    Open AccessA V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1924

    In his philosophical speculations regarding the original scheme of the universe, Mānī portrayed with poetic imagination the primordial struggle between the powers of Light and Darkness that formed the dualistic basis of his system of religion. When the primeval attack upon the Realm of Light was made by the King of Darkness, the Sovereign of Light “evoked”, or emanated, three successive evocations in the form of divine personifications, designed …

  • The so-called Injunctions of Mani, translated from the Pahlavi of Denkart 3, 200

    Open AccessA V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1924

    The discovery made in Chinese Turkistan, at the beginning of this century, of a mass of Manichæan fragments, in part remnants of Mānī's long-lost bible, lent a keen zest to the study of that old-time heresy which struggled for world supremacy in religion during the early Christian centuries. As a would-be rival to Christianity and Zoroastrianism Mānī's syncretic creed was anathematized by Church Fathers and Zoroastrian priests alike. The story of…

    A V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1924

    IN MANICHAEISM we are familiar with the figure of the great mother-goddess, the Mother of Life (or, more exactly, Mother of the Living), who is found likewise in the earlier Gnostic systems.' The triune relationship of a Father God, Mother Goddess, and Son is recognizable, and is familiar elsewhere.2 In the Greek and Latin writings dealing with the Religion of Mdn! and in the Gnostics the mother is spoken of as v M'rqp -r Zms, Mater Vitae (or as …

  • Studies in Manichaeism

    A V Williams JacksonARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1923

    STUDENTS OF MANICHAEISM are familiar with the discoveries made at Turfan and elsewhere in Chinese Turkistan, in the years 1903 and following, which brought to light an extensive mass of Manichaean Fragments dating back a thousand years or more. These fragments, consisting of hymns, prayers, confessions, religious treatises, and the like, contain portions of the long-lost Bible of Mdni. The discoveries were due largely to the expeditions of Grtinw…
