Medinet Madi library
The Medinet Madi library is a collection of Manichaean texts discovered at Medinet Madi in the Faiyum region of Egypt in 1929. There is a total of seven codices, some of which have been split up and held in different collections across Europe. The texts, many of which remain unpublished and untranslated today, were composed in the Lycopolis dialect of Coptic during the 5th century A.D.[1][2]
Manuscripts
In 1930 and 1931, Alfred Chester Beatty and Carl Schmidt purchased the codices from antiquities dealers in Faiyum. The manuscripts were subsequently conserved by Hugo Ibscher [de] and his son Rolf Ibscher [de] in Berlin.[1]
