Manuscripts and translations

E. S. Drower obtained a copy of the text and later donated it to the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, where it was catalogued as Manuscript 7 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 7).^[1] A typesetted Mandaic version of DC 7 was published by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki in 2002.^[4]

The Diwan Nahrawata is a geographical treatise^[5] that focuses mainly on esoteric cosmology.^[6] Kurt Rudolph published a German translation in 1982, based on a copy held in a private library in Dora, Baghdad that was originally from Ahvaz.^[7] It has about 3300 words and was copied by Ram Zihrun, son of Sam Bihram, Kupašia in Shushtar, Iran in 1259 A.H. (1843 A.D.).
