The Diwan Abatur (Classical Mandaic: ࡃࡉࡅࡀࡍ ࡀࡁࡀࡕࡅࡓ; "Scroll of Abatur") is a Mandaean religious text. It is a large illustrated scroll that is over 20 ft. long.

A similar illustrated Mandaean scroll is the Diwan Nahrawata ("The Scroll of the Rivers"), a lavishly illustrated geographical treatise which translated into German and published by Kurt Rudolph in 1982.

Manuscripts and translations

An English translation of the text was published by E. S. Drower in 1950, which was based on manuscript 8 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 8).

In 2020, Bogdan Burtea translated the Diwan Abatur into German.
