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]
