Abstract:

Published between 1880 and 1897 as part of Max Müller's Sacred Books of the
East series, this five-volume translation of Pahlavi texts was the work of
Edward William West (1824–1905). Largely self-taught, West developed his
knowledge of ancient oriental languages in India, where he worked as a civil
engineer. After returning to Europe, West focused on the study of sacred
Zoroastrian texts and prepared these translations of Pahlavi manuscripts,
cementing his reputation for pioneering scholarship. His writings and editions
are still referenced today in Indo-Iranian studies. Volume 1 includes the
Bundahis, the Bahman Yast, and the Shayâst Lâ-Shâyast. Volume 2 contains the
ninth-century Dâdistân-î Dînîk and Epistles of Mânûskîhar. Volume 3 contains
the Dînâ-î Maînôg-î Khirad, the Sikand-gûmânîk Vigâr, and the Sad Dar. The
Nasks are the focus of Volume 4. And Volume 5 contains translations of the
Dînkard (books 7 and 5) and Selections of Zâd-sparam.
