A community-maintained tertiary reference on the Manichaean Psalm Book, directly examined. Its strength is a precise discovery year and location and a named editor with a publication date; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Manichaean studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
