Abstract
AbstractThe tombstone of the Christian bishop Mar Solomon is an important witness to communities of the Church of the East and Manichaeans in fourteenth-century China. The epitaph consists of a bilingual inscription in Chinese and Syro-Turkic. Three major points will be discussed—the identification of Mar Solomon as administrator of both communities; the use of the term “Manzi” to designate Mar Solomon’s geographical area of influence; and the significance of the style and languages of the epitaph.
