Thanks to Nick Norelli for highlighting<\/a> that a number of UK doctoral dissertations \u2013 including my own \u2013 are available for download from the British Library database EThOS, which stands for Electronic Theses Online Service<\/a>. There are also a couple of theses related to the Mandaeans, one of which served as the basis for the author\u2019s book, the other of which has yet to be digitized or published, but will be of great interest once it is.<\/p>\n
