The Book of Arda Viraf is a Pahlavi text that was prepared by Destur Hoshangji Jamaspji Asa in 1872. The book is a religious text that is written in the Middle Persian language and is considered to be one of the most important works of Zoroastrianism. The book is a vision of the afterlife and describes the journey of Arda Viraf, a Zoroastrian priest, through the realms of the dead. The text provides a detailed description of the rewards and punishments that await the souls of the dead based on their actions in life. The book also includes a discussion of the nature of the soul, the role of the gods, and the importance of good deeds. This edition of the book was translated into English by Martin Haug, a German philologist who was an expert in the languages and religions of India and Iran. The translation is considered to be one of the most accurate and reliable versions of the text available in English. Overall, The Book of Arda Viraf is a fascinating and important work that provides insight into the beliefs and practices of Zoroastrianism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
