Bibia Mudalal (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡉࡁࡉࡀ ࡌࡅࡃࡀࡋࡀࡋ) was a 19th-century Mandaean priest and scribe. She was perhaps the last Mandaean female priest. She is known as the wife of Ram Zihrun.[1]

Bibia Mudalal's mother was Hawa Simat, and her father was Adam Yuhana, son of Sam.[2]: 66  Her father came from the Kamisia and Riš Draz families.[2]: 71  She was a scribe who copied the Ginza Rabba and also a priest who was likely initiated before the 1831 cholera epidemic that killed all of the other Mandaean priests.[1]

Bibia Mudalal was the grandmother of Sheikh Negm (or Sheikh Nejm; born 1892 in Huwaiza, Iran), who copied many manuscripts for E. S. Drower.[2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
