As a manifestation of G-d's Word, the Romaniote Rabbi was the Torah which though transformed into a new form since the resurrection can still nevertheless only be related to by studying the Torahs both written and oral.
=The Quranic MaterialsDevelopment=In time his Messianic Sadducee teachings took-off in [[Tachkastan]] with a [[Sadducee]] warlord called [[Mahmet the Ishmaelite]] who in his old age adopted certain [[Manichean]] ideas about [[Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret]] and the [[Mishnah]] which Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret promoted. Together with [[Abu Turab]] and [[Salman of Fars]] devised some religious materials in the voice of Archangel Michael for the Manichean Proselytes. These materials were assembled into a religious Tome by the next ruler, a Manichean Proselyte called [[Emir Tashik]].
==Development==
Mahmet the Ishmaelite was originally a Sadducee warlord known as Emir Ambrus who rose to prominence in Tachkastan having subjugated the Banu Qabisa. He went on to conquer the Patriarchates of Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria where he became renowned for his brutal suppression of the followers of Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret.
Under the influence of the three Monophysite Patriarchs of the Oriental Orthodox Church, it seems having consulted an "Arian" Monk called Abu Turab through his translator Salman of Fars. As a result, the Emir took on the name Mahmet in devotion to the crucifixion. He also accepted the Mishnah promoted by Rebbe Yehoshua Minzaret being identified by Monophysites as the Messianic Emanation of the Divine. However, he decided to try and influence his Messianic subjects to accept certain Sadducee ideas (such as the Sadducee calendar) as [[HaGarim HaManichayim]] without having to abandon Monophysite Messianism. The Emir's lectures were more popular among the Manicheans of Tachkastan than among the Sadducees so he appointed from HaGarim HaManichayim a Manichean to be his successor [[Emir Tashik]] of Quraysh.

Together with [[Abu Turab]] and [[Salman of Fars]] devised some religious materials in the voice of Archangel Michael for the Manichean Proselytes. These materials were assembled into a religious Tome by the next ruler, a Manichean Proselyte called [[Emir Tashik]].
The new Emir Tashik had all of Mahmet's lectures gathered together and redacted into a new Quraysh religious Tome, sending a copy to Pope Martin while ordering all of the original religious materials (Injeel, Miqra lectures etc.) to be destroyed. This caused great unrest leading to his assassination and a civil war in the Empire which lasted for 36 years.
