Christians and Manichaeans on the Silk Road
This study chronicles the major discovery of textual evidence about the eastward diffusion of two major world religions, Christianity and Manichaeism, along the Silk Road, and their eventual arrival in Tang China. It begins with the well-known discovery of the Xi’an Monument (once called the Nestorian Monument) in the seventeenth century and the controversy it stirred up in European scholarship because it was a relic of the (Christian) Church of …
Manichaeism in China: A Century of New Discoveries
Once considered a dangerous Christian heresy, Manichaeism is now seen as an early world religion astriding the Silk Road. Evidence for its presence in China was found among the Chinese texts discovered in Dunhuang in 1911. Since then, research on the history of Manichaeism in China, both as a foreign religion in the Tang and Yuan periods and as a secretive folk religion in China associated with peasant rebellions under the Song, has benefited fro…
From Qin (Ch’in) to Cathay: Names for China and the Chinese on the Silk Road
This article examines the many names for China given to her by neighbouring peoples from the Han to the Yuan periods using documents from the Silk Road. It also surveys the many names given to the Middle Kingdom in Chinese (including Buddhist and ‘Nestorian’ Christian) sources and asks why these were not reflected in the way in which China was named by her neighbours and foreign occupiers
Rome and China: Points of Contact
Nestorian Remains from Zaitun (Quanzhou), South China 1
In November of 1952, John Foster – a British scholar noted for his popular studies of Nestorianism in medieval (esp. Tang) China – received a note from a medical doctor who had returned to Britain after the Communist takeover of Mainland China after having spent time at the port-city of Quanzhou (Ch’uan-chou) in South China. Wang Foudao might also have been a Chinese member of a Nestorian community which had survived in Zaitun from the late Tang …

Palmyra – Epigraphy and religion. A review article
The Religious Life of Palmyra, By Ted Kaizer. (Oriens et Occidens 4), pp. 305, 7 pls. Stuttgart, Franz Steiner Verlag, 2002. Palmyra (ancient Tadmor) is undoubtedly one of the most glamorous of Graeco-Roman cities in the Near East and probably the most visited of all historical sites in the modern Republic of Syria. It has long been recognised as a major centre of Semitic religious cults which flourished particularly when the city was politically…

The Roman Eastern Frontier and the Persian Wars AD 226-363: A Documentary History
The crisis of the third century saw Rome not only embroiled in contests of succeeding short-lived Emperors, but assailed by an increasing variety of hostile peoples from outside its frontiers. Owing to the complex racial interplay of this period, the sources for its history have to be compiled from a wide variety of sources. The least adequate are those in Latin, the imperial lives of the Historia Augusta . These have to be supplemented by the Gr…
