【Summary】

Because Iranian Manichaean texts recovered from the Turfan oasis in Turfan are taught in many Iranian universities, this concise instructional manual was prepared to equip students, researchers, and interested readers with the fundamental skills required to read and reconstruct these texts. After becoming familiar with the principles of decipherment, readers are encouraged to engage directly with Manichaean manuscripts—many of which remain largely unstudied and await the attention of a new generation of specialists, particularly Iranian scholars who benefit from linguistic and cultural proximity to the material.

The book introduces the methodological foundations, core principles, and practical procedures for reading and reconstructing Iranian texts written in the Manichaean script. By laying out clear guidelines for editorial practice, it serves both as a classroom textbook and as a practical reference for advanced research in Manichaean studies and Iranian philology.
