The Qolastā,[1] Qulasta,[2] Qolusta (Classical Mandaic: ࡒࡅࡋࡀࡎࡕࡀ; Modern Mandaic: Qōlutā), or the Canonical Prayerbook is, as the name suggests, a canonical prayer book of the Mandaeans, a Gnostic ethnoreligious group from Iraq and Iran. The Mandaic word qolastā means "collection".[3] The prayerbook is a collection of Mandaic prayers regarding baptisms (masbuta) and other sacred rituals involved in the ascension of the soul (masiqta).[4]
