Four Books Against the Manichaeans

English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

The work 'Contra Manichaeos' by Titus of Bostra is primarily a Greek work. The 1859 edition mentioned is a publication of the Syriac version. While there is a 1958 MA thesis by William Oliver Walker that translates the first two books from the Greek, and a 2001 translation by Nils Arne Pedersen of the Syriac version, there is no evidence of a translation from the Latin text itself. The Latin text is a translation of the Greek, and the English translations found are from the Greek or Syriac versions. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.
