5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Edition,
By AlantheBarbarian "Alan" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sacred Books of the East: Volume 4. The Zend-Avesta. Part 1 (Paperback)
For one interested in a scholarly commentary for the Avesta, as well as the most recent complete translation (I think), this series by James Darmesteter I have found to be the best. Mazdeism (also known as Zoroastrianism), in particular, reveals a great deal about the formative influences of the Abrahamic religions, as well as Hinduism, from which Buddhism also later developed. It's a bit costly to buy these three volumes of the Avesta, but it is certainly a worthwhile investment.
