Published between 1880 and 1897 as part of Max Muller's Sacred
Books of the East series, this five-volume translation of Pahlavi
texts was the work of Edward William West (1824 1905). Largely
self-taught, West developed his knowledge of ancient oriental
languages in India, where he worked as a civil engineer. After
returning to Europe, West focused on the study of sacred
Zoroastrian texts and prepared these translations of Pahlavi
manuscripts. His writings and editions are still referenced today
in Indo-Iranian studies. The Nasks are the focus of Volume 4,
wherein West collects, translates and analyses fragments such as
names, summaries, digests and stray quotes from other books in
order to present all that is known of the twenty-one original
treatises containing Sassanid Zoroastrian literature. The treatises
were themselves records of what was legendarily lost after
Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia in the fourth century BCE.
