The Right Ginza (Classical Mandaic: ࡂࡉࡍࡆࡀ ࡉࡀࡌࡉࡍࡀ, romanized: Ginza Yamina[1]) is one of the two parts of the Ginza Rabba, the longest and the most important holy scripture of Mandaeism. The other part of the Ginza Rabba is the Left Ginza.[2]
Summaries of each book (or tractate), based mostly on Häberl (2007), are provided below.[3] Translated excerpts are from Gelbert (2011), which is mostly based on Lidzbarski (1925),[4] while Mandaic transliterations are derived from Gelbert (2011, 2021[5]).
Opening lines of each chapter are provided below, since Mandaeans often refer to Mandaic prayers and hymns by their opening lines.
