Zoroastrianism is a religion much commented upon by a few
enthusiastic Oriental scholars, and less understood by the general
public. Out of the millions of believers of this faith in the by
gone ages, there now remains a handful of devout followers, known
as the Parsis. I have, therefore, ventured to put before my readers
a brief sketch of the teachings of this divine prophet. I hope,
that the strangers to the faith may find in it food for philosophic
enlightenment, and the Zoroastrians themselves a subject for deeper
and wider researches in the untold wealth of sublime theology and
philosophy, now locked up in the monumental tomes of the ancient
Avesta writings...
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

First Time Edited With Collation Of Manuscripts, And Now Prepared
Form All Known Codices, Also Deciphered, And For The First Time

The sixteenth subject is this, that, when a woman becomes pregnant
in a house, it is necessary to make an endeavor so that there may
be a continual fire in that house, and to maintain a good watch
over it. 2. And, when the child becomes separate from the mother,
it is necessary to burn a lamp for three nights and days -- if they
burn a fire it would be better -- so that the demons and fiends may
not be able to do any damage and harm.

1905. For more than three thousand years the name of Zoroaster was
known around the world. Zoroastrian philosophy, which was the main
religious belief system of ancient Iranians and for about several
hundred years was the basis of the Iranian culture and their life
style, now is almost forgotten. The name is the corrupt Greek form
of the old Iranian Zarathustra. This is a study of Zoroaster by the
scholar Whitney.
