The Haran Gawaita (Mandaic: ࡄࡀࡓࡀࡍ ࡂࡀࡅࡀࡉࡕࡀ, meaning "Inner Harran" or "Inner Hauran") also known as the Scroll of Great Revelation, is a Mandaean text which recounts the history of the Mandaeans as Nasoraeans from Jerusalem and their arrival in a region described as "Inner Harran ('haran gauaita) which is called the mountains of Madday" (Mandaic ṭura ḏ-madai), which some scholars have identified with Media.[1][2] The Haran Gawaita continues the historical narrative of the Mandaean Book of Kings,[3] adding a new eighth age to the seven described in that work.[4]
The text was published for the first time in 1953.[5]
