[[Manichaeism]]

[[Manicheanism|Manichaeism]]

Research on the origin of Bogomilism has traditionally focused on the possible influence of Manichaean ideas among the [[sect]]s of the [[Cathar]]s, [[Albigensians]], [[Waldensians]], and Bogomils. Manichaeism is said to have been passed via the Paulicians and the Bogomils to re-emerge in different forms among the European Cathars. Individual medieval historians, who were usually [[monk]]s or [[cleric]]s, interpreted this influence in terms of a universal conspiracy of Manichaeans, led by Satan.
