The article starts by describing the present state of research on Alexander of Lycopolis (Egypt), who formerly was considered to be a Christian bishop converted from Manichaeism to orthodox Christianity, but now is generally regarded as a pagan philosopher. After the main contents of his (only preserved) treatise ‘Against the doctrines of Mani’ have been outlined, the focus is on Alexander’s unique description of Manichaeism as a form of Christianity. Finally, we try to establish Alexander’s own philosophical position.
