Le Nerangestan, ou Livre d'indication rituelles vient, dans les manuscrits, a la suite du Herbedestan mais represente un texte a part qui a essentiellement trait a l'education religieuse. Les deux textes appartiennent a la tradition savante du Zoroastrisme, et les longs passages du commentaire pehlevi sont souvent plus eclairants que le sont les phrases laconiques en avestique. Toujours est il que peu de passages sont faciles a lire parce que la plupart des iranistes occidentaux ont une connaissance peu approfondie des differents rituels zoroastriens, tandis que l'objectif du Nerangestan etait d'elucider des points qui semblaient obscurs meme aux pretres pratiquants de l'epoque. Le deuxieme Fragard du Nerangestan est fonde sur l'enseignement de Sosans, mais n'a probablement ete consigne dans sa forme actuelle que plusieurs generations apres ce grand commentateur. C'est de loin le chapitre le plus long du texte, et la richesse d'informations qu'il contient procure de nouveaux apercus dans differents aspects de la vie religieuse et rituelle de la communaute zoroastrienne. The Nerangestan, the Book of Ritual Directions, follows the Herbedestan in the manuscripts but is in fact a separate text, dealing with matters of ritual where the Herbedestan is mainly concerned with religious education. Both texts belong to the learned tradition of Zoroastrianism, and the lengthy passages of Pahlavi commentary are often more illuminating than the terse Avestan sentences. Still, few parts of the text make easy reading; most Western Iranists have at best a passing acquaintance with the various Zoroastrian rituals, while the Nerangestan was intended to elucidate points which seemed obscure even to the practising priests of its time. The Second Fragard of the Nerangestan is based on the Teachings of Sosans, but was probably written down in its present form several generations after this great Commentator. It is by far the longest extant chapter of the text, and the wealth of information it contains affords new insights into several aspects of the religious and ritual life of the Zoroastrian community.

From the image offered by the Babylonian Talmud, Jewish elites were deeply embedded within the Sasanian Empire (224-651 CE). The Talmud is replete with stories and discussions that feature Sasanian kings, Zoroastrian magi, fire temples, imperial administrators, Sasanian laws, Persian customs, and more quotidian details of Jewish life. Yet, in the scholarly literature on the Babylonian Talmud and the Jews of Babylonia , the Sasanian Empire has served as a backdrop to a decidedly parochial Jewish story, having little if any direct impact on Babylonian Jewish life and especially the rabbis. Babylonian Jews and Sasanian Imperialism in Late Antiquity advances a radically different understanding of Babylonian Jewish history and Sasanian rule. Building upon recent scholarship, Simcha Gross portrays a more immanent model of Sasanian rule, within and against which Jews invariably positioned and defined themselves. Babylonian Jews realized their traditions, teachings, and social position within the political, social, religious, and cultural conditions generated by Sasanian rule.

This text describes the realities of modern Parsi religion through 30 interviews in which urban Parsis belonging to different social milieus and religious schools of thought discuss various aspects of their religious lives. Zoroastrianism, the faith founded by the Iranian prophet Zarathustra, originated around 1000BCE and is widely regarded as the world's first revealed religion. Although the number of its followers declined dramatically in the centuries after the 7th century Islamic conquest of Iran, Zoroastrians survive in Iran to the present day. The other major Zoroastrian community are the Parsis of India, descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Muslim dominion.

Next to the Yast codex F1 (dating from 1591 C.E.), the Khorda Avesta and Yast codex E1 is the most important Yast manuscript. Written in Navsari in 1601 C.E. by the Sanjana priest Ervad Sapuhr Hosang Asa, E1 is the oldest and most valuable manuscript for the trans mission of the Khorda Avesta, which is not contained in F1. The manuscript E1 offers perhaps the best and most complete extant collection of the Khorda Avesta, including Gahs, Niyaye'es, Ya'ts, Nirangs, Bajs, Namazes, the Skt. Wahman Ya't, and many other, often little known texts. Moreover, E1 is of particular signicance from a text critical point of view because it has been corrected secunda manu according to a line of trans mission independent from and older than F1. This volume offers an Introduction with a detailed survey of the contents of E1. The main part consists of facsimiles of the entire manuscript, with headings and marginal notes identifying individual texts and paragraphs.
