Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Avesta Reader: First Series; Easier Texts, Notes, and Vocabulary

This little book lays no claim to any special merit beyond furnishing in convenient form some material for those beginning to study the Avesta. As it is intended merely for an introduction. And being designed as the first of a series of reading books, the number of pages of texts has been limited. The selections here given are such as may easily be mastered by a class in one college term; the beginner, moreover, always finds a certain de gree of pleasure and satisfaction in a book that can be read through in a comparatively short time. And he feels he is making a certain amount of progress when another book has to be taken up. W'ith that in view, a second volume is being prepared, this will contain longer texts and will be so arranged as to imply a step in advance.
