Mediaeval Manichaean Book Art focuses on a corpus of 89 fragments of exquisitely illuminated manuscripts that were produced under the patronage of the Turkic-speaking Uygurs in the Turfan region of East Central Asia between the 8th and 11th centuries C.E., and used in service of the local Manichaean church. By applying a codicological approach to the analysis of these sources, this study casts light onto a lost episode of Central Asian art history and religious book culture. Mediaeval Manichaean Book Art represents a pioneer study in its subject, research methodology, and illustrations. It extracts codicological and art historical data from torn remains of lavishly decorated Middle-Persian, Sogdian, and Uygur language manuscripts in codex, scroll, and 'palm-leaf' formats. Through detailed analyses and carefully argued interpretations aided by precise computer drawings, the author introduces an important group of primary sources for future comparative research in Central Asian art, mediaeval book illumination, and Manichaean studies.

High in the serene mountains of Catalonia, in an abbey where music is both the practice of art and prayer, a young brother produces a miracle that ignites the fiery wrath of assassins hidden under the guise of the Holy Inquisition. In the labyrinths of his memory palace, fractured by amnesia, young Samuel reconnects with his mysterious past that is manifested through music. The accusations of creating a miracle arouses assassins forcing him to flee the quiet mountains of Catalonia. He sets off on a journey through time and space with Adrie, the girl who understands the power of music, and they travel across the globe to fulfill a promise to his murdered parents that could ultimately change the balance of power.
