The Manichaean Psalm Book or Manichaean Psalter is a Manichaean text written in Coptic.[1] It is believed to have been compiled in the late 3rd century[2] or the mid-4th century.[3][1] Excavated in 1929 as part of the Medinet Madi library, the Psalm Book is believed to contain remnants of some of the earliest extant Manichaean literature.[4]
