Where it came from
Published in 1880 as the fifth volume in the monumental series 'The Sacred Books of the East', this work was translated by the noted scholar Edward William West. The series was edited by Max Müller and aimed to provide authoritative English translations of foundational religious texts from Eastern traditions, facilitating a new era of comparative religion and philological study in the Victorian academic landscape.
The volume focuses on the Pahlavi texts, specifically the Bundahisn, the Bahman Yast, and the Shayast la-Shayast, which are essential to understanding Zoroastrian cosmology and law. West, a former engineer turned scholar of Middle Persian, was chosen for his meticulous linguistic approach, which prioritized accuracy over interpretation. Upon its release, the volume was highly regarded by contemporary Orientalists for its rigorous notes and its role in rendering these complex, often fragmentary Middle Persian manuscripts accessible to a wider scholarly audience.
