\"\"<\/a> There is a free preview on Google books<\/a> of the Mandaic dictionary by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki et. al. It is extremely limited compared to the out-of-print Drower and Macuch Mandaic dictionary, but at least there are other ways of getting access to this one than inter-library loan! <\/p>\n

\n
I must say that am extremely grateful to Mr. Mubaraki for sending me a copy of his dictionary and other Mandaic text and transliterations that he has made available. I would not have been able to make the progress that I have either in studying the Mandaic language, or in my study of Mandaean origins, without these resources.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For those interested in Syriac studies, Brigham Young University has online collections of texts at the Syriac Studies Reference Library<\/a> and the Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts<\/a>. Add those to the ones at Archive.org<\/a> and it has to be said that it is rather impressive how much one can find available electronically.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now if only there were audiobooks<\/em> in Syriac and Mandaic, so that we could learn and study in the car and on the go\u2026 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
