I am grateful to Steve Caruso<\/a> for pointing out\u00a0the announcement in Biblical Archaeology Review<\/a><\/em> that the Israel Science Foundation will be funding\u00a0the digitization of Mandaic texts currently in Israel. Hopefully more information will be forthcoming about what manuscripts they have in their possession! The\u00a0ultimate\u00a0aim is to\u00a0produce a much-needed new Mandaic lexicon<\/a>. Currently the only thing in existence is the out-of-print volume by Drower and Macuch. <\/p>\n

Congratulations to Matthew Morgenstern and everyone else involved in this project! All who study the Mandaeans and their language and literature rejoice with you!<\/p>\n

There is more information about the project and\u00a0the grant award\u00a0online elsewhere on the web, in German<\/a> and in Hebrew<\/a>, for those who read those languages.<\/p>\n
