Zarathustrian Gathas In Metre And Rythm is a book written by Lawrence H. Mills that provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the Gathas, which are the hymns of the ancient Iranian prophet Zarathustra. The book is an attempt to translate the Gathas into English while preserving their original metre and rhythm. The Gathas are considered to be the most important and sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion, which was founded by Zarathustra around 3,500 years ago in ancient Iran. The Gathas are written in a unique poetic form that is difficult to translate into other languages. Mills has attempted to translate the Gathas into English while maintaining their original poetic form. The book is divided into several sections, each of which deals with a specific aspect of the Gathas. The first section provides an introduction to the Gathas and their historical context. The second section deals with the structure and metre of the Gathas. The third section provides a detailed analysis of each of the Gathas, with a focus on their metre, rhythm, and meaning. The book is written in a scholarly style and is intended for readers who are interested in the Zoroastrian religion and its sacred texts. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religion, history, and literature.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1903 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
