Biography

[edit]

Al-Mubaraki is a Mandaean who was born in Iraq. He was trained as an engineer.[2] Al-Mubaraki emigrated to Australia before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he lived in Northbridge, but later moved to Luddenham.

The full Ginza Rba in printed Mandaic script, compiled primarily from the Mhatam Zihrun br rbai Adam manuscript from Iraq (copied in 1898 and dated 6 July 1899),[3] was first published by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki, Brikha Nasoraia (as Rbai Haitham Saeed), and Brian Mubaraki in Sydney in March 1998 during Parwanaya.[4][5][6] A Roman transliteration of the entire Ginza Rba was also published in 1998 by Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki and Brian Mubaraki.[7][8] The Concordance of the Mandaean Ginza Rba was published by Brian Mubaraki and Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki in 2004.[9]

In 1999, Majid Fandi Al-Mubaraki, Brikha Nasoraia, and Brian Mubaraki published a two-volume set of the Qulasta prayers printed in Mandaic script.[10]
