The project aims to prepare a critical edition based upon all manuscripts with a translation and a commentary of the Mandaean Diuan Abatur. Being one of the major works of Mandaean literary production it deals with the fate of the soul in the afterlife. In the three years of research the following objectives will be accomplished: the preparation of a critical scholarly edition, the linguistic analysis of the text, the annotation of mythological motives, the highlighting of the religious and historical background of the text in the context of the Mandaean literature, the evaluation of Mandaean intersections with Judaism, Oriental Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Gnosticism. As the manuscripts of Diuan Abatur are abounding in illustrations the study will also take into account its iconographical programme and will analyse the features of the Mandaean drawings.

该项目旨在根据所有手稿编写一个关键版本，并附有Mandaean Diuan Abatur的翻译和评论。作为曼代文学作品的主要作品之一，它涉及灵魂在来世的命运。在三年的研究中，将完成以下目标：准备一个关键的学术版本，文本的语言分析，神话动机的注释，在曼代文学的背景下突出文本的宗教和历史背景，评估曼代与犹太教，东方基督教，拜火教和诺斯替教的交叉点。由于Diuan Abatur的手稿中有大量的插图，这项研究还将考虑到其图像学计划，并将分析Mandaean绘画的特征。
