Provenance

Where it came from

This volume is part of the monumental 'Sacred Books of the East' series, a project edited by the renowned philologist Friedrich Max Müller and published by Oxford University Press in the late 19th century. The series was designed to provide authoritative English translations of essential religious texts from across Asia, reflecting the period's scholarly fascination with comparative religion and the systematic cataloging of Eastern thought. This specific volume, the fifth in the series, brought together critical Zoroastrian texts—the Bundahishn, the Bahman Yasht, and the Shayast-ne-Shayast—translated by the noted Iranologist Edward William West.

The design of the collection adhered to the rigorous academic standards of the Clarendon Press, prioritizing readability for scholars alongside high production quality. West’s translations were groundbreaking for their time, as they provided Western academics with unprecedented access to Pahlavi literature, which had previously been obscured by linguistic complexity and fragmented manuscripts. The collection was widely received as a definitive reference, serving as a cornerstone for later studies in Zoroastrian theology, mythology, and legal practice.
