The book Zendavesta V1, The Zend Texts: Or The Religious Books Of The Zoroastrians (1854) is a comprehensive collection of religious texts of the Zoroastrian religion, also known as Mazdayasna. The book is authored by Niels Ludvig Westergaard, a Danish scholar who was an expert in the languages and cultures of ancient Iran.The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume containing an introduction to the Zoroastrian religion and its history. It also includes a detailed account of the Avesta, the primary scripture of the Zoroastrian religion, along with its structure and contents.The second volume of the book contains the complete text of the Avesta, along with translations and commentary by Westergaard. The Avesta is divided into several sections, including the Yasna, Visperad, Vendidad, and the lesser-known texts such as the Gathas and the Yashts.The book is considered a seminal work in the study of the Zoroastrian religion and its texts. It provides a valuable insight into the beliefs, practices, and culture of the ancient Zoroastrians, and remains an important reference work for scholars and students of religion, history, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
