Sinopsis
Excerpt from An Avesta Grammar in Comparison With Sanskrit, Vol. 1
In the Grammar it might have been easier and more practical in many respects to use the Avesta type itself instead of employing a transcription. On the whole, how ever, it seemed best under the circumstances to transliterate. For general reference at present this method appears more convenient, and is useful in showing grammatical fort'na tions. The original type, it is-expected, will be employed, as hinted above, in a little book Avesta for Beginners, planned for a date not far distant.

Excerpt from An Avesta Grammar in Comparison With Sanskrit, Vol. 1
The present Grammar is a work of no pretensions; it is offered as a small contribution toward advancing the Avesta cause. It is written in part fulfilment of a design formed when I first began to study the Avesta and became deeply interested in the true value and importance of that monument of antiquity.
The end for which the book is intended would perhaps have been better accomplished, however, if the work had been a mere grammatical sketch. This was ray first design; and it may at another time be carried out. But as the work grew under my hands, it seemed desirable to enlarge it somewhat further, and to embody additional material which for reference might be serviceable to the general philologist, not to the specialist alone. The linguist may thus find in it useful matter and fresh illustrations, especially in the new readings from Geldner's edition if the Avesta texts.
No attempt, on the other hand, has been made to secure absolute completeness. Numerous minor points have been purposely omitted. These may perhaps later be taken up in a more extended work including also the Old Persian by the side of the Avesta and the Sanskrit.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history, teachings, and significance of the Avesta, the sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion. Tracing its roots back to ancient Persia, the Avesta offers a window into the beliefs and practices of one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. The author delves into the texts' various sections, including the Vendidad, Vispered, and Yashts, providing a comprehensive understanding of their content and context. Through an analysis of the Avesta's hymns, prayers, and rituals, the book sheds light on Zoroastrianism's central ideas of good and evil, the role of the Amesha Spentas, and the importance of righteous living. By examining the Avesta in its historical and cultural context, this book not only illuminates the beliefs of ancient Persia but also offers insights into the origins and evolution of religious thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
