The Zend-Avesta, Part 2 of 3: The Mahavagga, V-X and the Kullavagga I-III (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646798018)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Zend-Avesta, Part 2 (1883) translated by James Darmesteter, is Volume XXIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in three parts, focuses on Zoroastrianism. Part 2 contains the mythical lore of Yast, Sirozah, and Nyasis. A more poetic text, readers will broaden their knowledge of Zoroastrianism with this book.
