At the center of this book stands a text-critical edition of three
chapters of the Gathas, exemplifying the editorial methodology
developed by the "Multimedia Yasna" (MUYA) project and its
application to the Old Avestan parts of the Yasna liturgy.
Proceeding from this edition, the book explores aspects of the
transmission and ritual embedding of the text, and of its late
antique exegetical reception in the Middle Persian (Pahlavi)
tradition. Drawing also on a contemporary performance of the Yasna
that was filmed by MUYA in Mumbai in 2017, the book aims to convey
a sense of the Avestan language in its role as a central element of
continuity around which the Zoroastrian tradition has evolved from
its prehistoric roots up to the modern era.
