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. Volume 5 contains translations of the
Dinkard (books 7 and 5) and Selections of Zad-sparam. Some parts of
these texts are prophetic, and West's introductory analysis
provides an insight into the chronology of Zoroastrianism, which
suggests that Zoroaster was born in 660 BCE and that the world will
come to an end in 2398 CE.
