Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley here offers a full~scale study of this group. Although it is one of the few religious traditions that can legitimately claim a continuous 2000~year literary history, there has been very little written about the Mandaeans in English. Much of what has been written focuses on the ancient Mandaeans or on their relation to early Christianity. There are, however, surviving groups of Mandaeans concentrated mainly in Iran and Iraq but also in diasporic communities throughout the world, including places like New York and San Diego. Buckley seeks to cross the boundaries between the traditional history~of~religions study of Mandaean religion (which ignores the existence of living Mandaeans) and the beliefs and practices of Mandaeans today. She begins with a comprehensive introduction to the religion, examining some of the central texts, mythological figures, and rituals. Then, she offers a window into the surviving Mandaean communities and shows how their ancient texts inform their living tradition, and vice versa. Ranging from the first few centuries CE to the present day, and from ancient Palestine to modern California, Buckley offers a fascinating look into a culture trying to reconcile ancient beliefs with life in the modern world.…

Hardcover. Condición: near fine. First edition. Octavo. (10), 264pp. Index and bibliography. Pictorial buckram with black spine lettered in white. Illustrated with 3 photographs. A fine but ex-library copy (with minimal markings; i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block). An edition of the scholarly letters of the English Lady E. S. Drower, famous for her novels, travel accounts, and studies in the Middle East, especially on the Mandaeans. Drower (1879?1972) kept up a lively correspondence with scholars, and the letters here span the years 1938 to the mid 1960s. It presents a window on Near Eastern studies in the mid 20th century, from the viewpoint of an autodidact insisting on, and succeeding in, a place among the academics. Correspondence with many famous scholars and intellectuals are included, such as Cyrus H. Gordon, Rudolf Macuch, Sidney H. Smith, Godfrey R. Driver, Samuel H. Hooke, and Franz Rosenthal. The letters focus on four of Lady Drower's main books: The Book of the Zodiac (1949), Water into Wine (1956), A Mandaic Dictionary (with Rudolf Macuch, 1963), and Drowers hoped for, crowning achievement: the presumably lost, large manuscript, Mass and Masiqta.

Drower's Scholarly Correspondence; Chapter One Sfar Malwa?ia (= SM); Chapter Two Water into Wine (= WW); Chapter Three A Mandaic Dictionary; Chapter Four The Early 1960s: A Controversial Book, A Spat, and A Prize; Chapter Five Mass and Masiqta (= MM): "From the Tigris to the Tiber"; Epilogue; E.S.
