The Mandaean Book of John (Mandaic language Drāšā D-Yaḥyā; Hebrew script Modern Mandaic: דרשא דיחיא; Mandaic script: ࡃࡓࡔࡀ ࡖࡉࡄࡉࡀ) is a Mandaean holy book in Mandaic Aramaic which is believed by Mandeans to have been written by their chief prophet John the Baptist.
The book contains accounts of John's life and miracles, as well as a number of polemical conversations with Jesus and tractates mimicking Jesus's deeds in Jerusalem.[1] Chapter seven of the Mandaean Book of John contains traditions attributed to John the Baptist.
A German translation Das Johannesbuch der Mandäer translated by Lidzbarski appeared in 1905.
