The text contains detailed commentaries on Mandaean religious rituals, such as death masses ( masiqta) to help guide souls into the World of Light, and the Mandaean wedding ceremony. It is written as a scroll. [1] A detailed overview of the contents can be found in Drower (1941). [2]
An English translation of the text was published by E. S. Drower in 1960, which was based on manuscript 36 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 36). DC 6 is an incomplete manuscript of The Thousand and Twelve Questions in the Drower Collection missing books 1 and 2, but DC 36 is the complete version with all 7 books included. [3]
