The Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran: Their Cults, Customs, Magic Legends, and Folklore

E. S. Drower, Lady Ethel Stefana Drower

Gorgias Press, 2002 - History - 438 pages

A study of all aspects of Mandaean life, The Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran remains the work that brings the people alive. No anthropologist has conducted fieldwork among the Mandaeans, not even in recent decades, and therefore Drower remains a singular figure.
