Hear the Ginza

I’ve finished off or am about to finish off several other projects that have been nearing completion, and then will be turning almost all of my attention to finishing off one of my conference papers for SBL. One of my papers relates to the Mandaeans, and I’ve regularly pointed out where texts related to the Mandaeans are available online. But in addition to texts, one can actually hear the Ginza read by a Mandaean priest from Bagdad. We can complain all we want about the effects of the internet on students, but there is so much that is positive about the internet as well as far as scholarly pursuits are concerned. The whole Semitic Sound Archive where the above links are found is an excellent example.
