The Avesta Vendidad is a book translated by James Darmesteter. It is a collection of Zoroastrian texts that were originally written in ancient Persian.

The book is divided into 22 chapters, each of which deals with a different topic. These topics include the creation of the world, the nature of good and evil, and the duties of priests and rulers. The Avesta Vendidad is an essential text for anyone interested in the history and beliefs of the Zoroastrian religion.Ahura Mazda spake unto Spitama Zarathushtra, saying: I have made every land dear (to its people), even though it had no charms whatever in it: had I not made every land dear (to its people), even though it had no charms whatever in it, then the whole living world would have invaded the Airyana Vaeja.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
