Mandaean Gnostic Texts
These texts were hand scanned a few years ago after I noticed a lack in the availability of Mandaean texts, both in the original Mandaic and in translation online and in print. These come from the editions made by Lady Drower in the early 20th century and still represent the most comprehensive editions of the texts. I hope these texts provide both scholars, those interested in Gnosticism, and the Mandaean community online access to the texts of an extraordinary people and their thought-provoking religion. I also wish to send my regards to the Mandaean communities in Iraq and Iran with the hopes that the strife afflicting the area will not cause much duress to their way of life.
The texts are OCRed and scanned from the original scrolls
