Drawing also on a contemporary performance of the Yasna that was filmed by MUYA in Mumbai in 2017, the book aims to convey a sense of the Avestan language in its role as a central element of continuity around which the Zoroastrian tradition has evolved from its prehistoric roots up to the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benedikt Peschl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004529160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004529168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Benedikt Peschl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069805490431,"sku":"9789004529168","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8be4a60a-9c01-4932-bd3c-924c4d047891.jpg?v=1685426598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-three-hymns-of-benedikt-peschl-9789004529168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
