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 2 contains the ninth-century
Dadistan-i Dinik and Epistles of Manuskihar. The former are
religious judgments or decisions given by Manuskihar, a high priest
of Iran, in answer to ninety-two queries put to him by fellow
Zoroastrians. Along with the Epistles, relating to complaints made
to Manuskihar about his brother Zad-sparam, these texts give the
reader an insight into the Zoroastrianism of the period, its
tenets, and its relationship with the developing Islamic faith.
