E. S. Drower

Lady Ethel Stefana Drower (1879–1972) studied the Middle East and its cultures. She was considered the primary specialist on the Mandaeans, a gnostic sect, and the chief collector of Mandaean manuscripts. Her works include "The Canonical Prayerbook of the Mandaeans" (a translation of the Qolusta); "The Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran"; "The Secret Adam" (Mandaeans again); and "The Peacock Angel" (about the Yezidis).
