The Diwan ḏ-Qadaha Rba Šuma ḏ-Mara ḏ-Rabuta u-Dmut Kušṭa ("The Scroll of the Great Prayer, the Name of the Lord of Greatness and the Image of Truth"), or simply the Dmut Kušṭa (or Dmuth Kushta), is a Mandaean religious text. It is written as an illustrated scroll. No published translation of the text currently exists.[1]

Manuscripts

The Bodleian Library at Oxford University holds a manuscript of the text, catalogued as Ms. Asiat. Misc. C 12. The scroll was copied by Yahia Ram Zihrun, son of Mhatam in 1818 in Qurna. It was acquired by E. S. Drower in 1954.[1]

In 1969, Kurt Rudolph had also seen a copy of the text at a private library in Dora, Baghdad.[2]

A digitized Mandaic version of the Dmut Kušṭa in typesetted Mandaic script has been published online by Majid Fandi al-Mubaraki, a Mandaean living in Australia.[3]
