Synopsis

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Pahlavi Texts, Part 2 (1882) translated by E. W. West is one of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book in five parts, focuses on Zoroastrianism and contains the Epistles of Manuskihar, as well as a book of questions, Dadestan-i Denig, that are answered on various philosophical, social, ethical, and cosmological issues. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Zoroastrianism.
