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带有注释翻译的左银座评论版。左银座是银座的一部分（由“左”和“右”银座两部分组成）。《左银座》的版本是基于公共图书馆（巴黎、牛津、伦敦、莱顿）的所有可用手稿、私人收藏（荷兰奈梅亨）的另外两份手稿和一份已经出版的文本。关键版将通过柏林-勃兰登堡科学与人文学院以数字方式开放获取，并以印刷书籍的形式出版。在三年的研究中，将实现以下目标：不仅为学者，也为曼代社区准备一个重要的学术版本，翻译和文本的语言分析，神话动机的评论和突出的宗教和历史背景的文本的背景下，曼代文学和其他晚期古董来源（犹太教，基督教，琐罗亚斯德教，诺斯替教）。

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).
