The oldest Zoroastrian religious scripture, handed down from ancient times, is the Avesta. One section of the holy book is known as the "Khordeh Avesta" or "Smaller (i.e. Selected) Avesta." This is the book of daily prayers of the Zoroastrians, including the most sacred prayers or manthras, as well as graces said over meals and other occasions, blessings, and hymns to spiritual beings. It is a cherished possession of every devout Zoroastrian household. Zoroastrians recite their prayers in a sacred language known as Avestan. The celebrated Avesta scholar and priest (Ervad) Kavasji Edulji Kanga prepared an edition of this prayer book in 1880 A.D., with Gujarati translation. An English edition was first printed in 1993, which has become very scarce. Due to the popularity of Kanga's editions, and the accuracy of its pronunciation, this new printed edition was prepared, correcting the frequent printer's errors found in the 1993 edition.

This obscure and ancient religion is receiving more and more attention in modern times due to its claimed influence upon Christianity. This author, however, focuses upon the relationship between Zoroastrianism and Judaism, & sets out to prove that Christianity received influence from Zoroastrianism, but that it was transmitted through Judaism.

"Boyce is a, perhaps the, world authority on Zoroastrianism. . . . Prefaced by a 27-page introduction, this anthology contains selections which offer a complete picture of Zoroastrian belief, worship and practice. There are historical texts from the sixth century B.C. onwards, and extracts from modern Zoroastrian writings representing traditionalism, occultism and reformist opinion. Anyone wishing to know more about this 'least well known of the world religions' should sample these selections."—The Methodist Church "Wide-ranging. . . . An indispensable one-volume collection of primary materials."—William R. Darrow, Religious Studies Review

The "Zartusht-Namah" is a unique account on the life and times of Zoroaster and his deeds. It was written by Zartusht Bahram Pazhdu - a Zoroastrian writer of the early 13th century. He was famous for his Persian poems "Zartusht-Namah" or "Zaratusht-Namah" ("The Book of Zoroaster") and "Ardaviraf-Namah" ("The Book of Ardaviraf"). Both poems were written based on old Pahlavi manuscripts. You can enjoy reading the first ever English translation of the "Zartusht-Namah", made by E. B. Eastwick in 1843. The edition is accompanied by full-color illustrations.
