Ayādgār ī Jāmāspīg

Description:

"The Ayādgār ī Jāmāspīg (the Memorial of Jāmāsp) is one of the most popular Zoroastrian literary texts. In all likelihood, it was designed as a layman's encyclopedia. The text has been preserved in three manuscript traditions: Pahlavi, Pāzand and Pārsi. Based on the Pārsi manuscript tradition, the best preserved of the three, Agostini presents a new and complete philological edition of this work. This rich contribution includes a commentary on the most problematic and interesting historical and religious topics that have shaped the work's narrative."--Publisher description.
