932 Mana Rabba ENT_MAN_MANA_RABBA identified_with Nous ENT_GNO_NOUS medium Mana Rabba as Great Mind overlaps with divine Mind/Nous categories. Ginza Rba SRC_GINZA_RBA reviewed  
1291 Light Mind ENT_MANICH_LIGHT_MIND equated_with Nous ENT_GNO_NOUS medium Manichaean Light Mind equated with Gnostic Nous as divine intellect/mind principle. Samuel N. C. Lieu, Manichaeism in the Later Roman Empire and Medieval China SRC_LIEU_MANICHAEISM reviewed  
2407 Vohu Manah ENT_ZOR_VOHU_MANAH aligned_with Nous ENT_GNO_NOUS medium Vohu Manah ("Good Mind") is the first Amesha Spenta, embodying the divine intelligence and good thought of Ahura Mazda (Yasna 28.2; 29.6; 30.3: "I will now proclaim for those who will hear the things the understanding person should remember: the praises and prayer of the Good Mind to the Lord"). The Gnostic Nous ("Mind" or "Intelligence") is the primary divine intellectual emanation in Valentinian and Sethian systems (Apocryphon of John, NHC II,1; Gospel of Truth, NHC I,3). The alignment is grounded in the shared semantic core — divine Mind/Intelligence as the first emanation of supreme divinity — and in the broader scholarly recognition that Zoroastrian divine hypostases (the Amesha Spentas as divine attributes of Ahura Mazda) influenced the Gnostic aeon-emanation model via Platonic mediation. Boyce, A History of Zoroastrianism, Vol. I (1975) pp. 204-213; Stausberg, Zarathustra und seine Religion (2002) pp. 78-83. Avesta SRC_AVESTA reviewed Sasanian Zoroastrian PER_ZOR_SASANIAN
6552 Al-Aql al-Kulli (the Universal Intellect) ENT_DRZ_AL_AQL aligned_with Nous ENT_GNO_NOUS medium The Druze Universal Intellect (al-Aql al-Kulli) is functionally cognate to the Neoplatonic/Gnostic Nous as first emanation, a comparison drawn in scholarship on Ismaili-Druze cosmology. Nejla M. Abu-Izzeddin, The Druzes: A New Study of Their History, Faith and Society (Brill, 1984) SRC_ABU_IZZEDDIN_DRUZES reviewed
