Ginza – The „Holy Book“ of the Mandaeans. Edition, translation, commentary of the Left Ginza (ginza smala)

该项目旨在准备一个批判性版本，其中包含《左银座》的注释翻译。左银座是银座的一部分(由“左”和“右”两部分组成)。《左银座》的版本是基于公共图书馆(巴黎、牛津、伦敦、莱顿)的所有可用的手稿，另外两个来自私人收藏的手稿(奈梅亨，尼德兰)和已经出版的文本。评论版将通过柏林-勃兰登堡科学与人文学院以开放获取的数字方式出版，并出版印刷书籍。在三年的研究中，将实现以下目标：不仅为学者而且为曼达亚社区准备评论学术版，对文本的翻译和语言分析，在曼达文学和其他晚期古物来源(犹太教、基督教、琐罗亚斯德教和诺斯替教)的背景下，对神话动机进行评论，突出文本的宗教和历史背景。

The project aims to prepare a critical edition with annotated translation of the Left Ginza. The Left Ginza is part of the Ginza (consisting of two parts, the "Left" and the "Right" Ginza). The edition of the Left Ginza is based upon all available manuscripts from the public libraries (Paris, Oxford, London, Leiden), two other manuscripts from a private collection (Nijmegen, Nederland) and an already published text. The critical edition will be published both digitally in open access through the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities as well as printed book.In the three years of research the following objectives will be accomplished: the preparation of a critical scholarly edition not only for scholars but also for the Mandaean community, the translation and the linguistic analysis of the text, the commentary of mythological motives and the highlighting of the religious and historical background of the text in the context of the Mandaean literature and also of other late antique sources (Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Gnosticism).
