The Left Ginza 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 Right Ginza.[1]
Summaries of each book (or tractate), based mostly on Häberl (2007), are provided below.[2] Translated excerpts are from Gelbert (2011), while Mandaic transliterations are derived from Gelbert (2011, 2021[3]).
Opening lines of each chapter are provided below, since Mandaeans often refer to Mandaic prayers and hymns by their opening lines.
