Excerpt from An Avesta Grammar in Comparison With Sanskrit, Vol. 1
In the Grammar it might have been easier and more practical in many respects to use the Avesta type itself instead of employing a transcription. On the whole, how ever, it seemed best under the circumstances to transliterate. For general reference at present this method appears more convenient, and is useful in showing grammatical fort'na tions. The original type, it is-expected, will be employed, as hinted above, in a little book Avesta for Beginners, planned for a date not far distant.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history, teachings, and significance of the Avesta, the sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion. Tracing its roots back to ancient Persia, the Avesta offers a window into the beliefs and practices of one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. The author delves into the texts' various sections, including the Vendidad, Vispered, and Yashts, providing a comprehensive understanding of their content and context. Through an analysis of the Avesta's hymns, prayers, and rituals, the book sheds light on Zoroastrianism's central ideas of good and evil, the role of the Amesha Spentas, and the importance of righteous living. By examining the Avesta in its historical and cultural context, this book not only illuminates the beliefs of ancient Persia but also offers insights into the origins and evolution of religious thought.
