Riassunto

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 5 (1897) translated by E. W. West, is Volume XLVII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book in five parts, focuses on Zoroastrianism, and includes "Marvels of Zoroastrianism" from the creation through the resurrection of mankind and the invasion of Persia by Alexander the Great. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Zoroastrianism.
