[ad. late L. Manichæus, late Gr. Μανιχαῖος, from the name of the founder of the sect (variously recorded as Manes and Manichæus) who lived in Persia in the 3rd century after Christ.]
An adherent of a religious system widely accepted from the third to the fifth century, composed of Gnostic Christian, Mazdean, and pagan elements.
The special feature of the system which the name chiefly suggests to modern readers is the dualistic theology, according to which Satan was represented as co-eternal with God.
