This historical study argues that the Mandaean religion originated under Sasanid rule
in the fifth century, not earlier as has been widely accepted. It analyzes primary
sources in Syriac, Mandaic, and Arabic to clarify the early history of Mandaeism.
This religion, along with several other, shorter-lived new faiths, such as Kentaeism,
began in a period of state-sponsored persecution of Babylonian paganism. The Mandaeans
would survive to become one of many groups known as Ṣābians by their Muslim neighbors.
Rather than seeking to elucidate the history of Mandaeism in terms of other religions
to which it can be related, this study approaches the religion through the history
of its social contexts
