The text is written in a poetic and metaphorical style, with many references to ancient Persian mythology and religion. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Persian culture and religion, as well as for anyone interested in the history of the world and the origins of human civilization.And, afterwards, the wind spirit, so that it may not be contaminated (gumikht), stirs up the wind and atmosphere as the life stirs in the body; and the water was all swept away by it, and was brought out to the borders of the earth, and the wide-formed ocean arose therefrom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
