Dadestan i Menog i Xrad: A Pahlavi Student's 2013 Guide

By Zeke J.V. Kassock

Self-Pahlavi student Zeke Kassock has created a modern rendition of the Dadestan i Menog i Xrad, for the beginner Pahlavi student, as well as the Zoroastrian reader. Kassock has hand written the original text, and modernized the spelling with D.N. MacKenzie's A Concise Pahlavi Dictionary. It was then typed, retranscribed and translated using MacKenzie's dictionary, giving it new life from the editions from Sanjana, Dhaval, Anklesaria and West.. This rendition was created for the student learning Pahlavi/Middle Persian in aiding them in starting to read the original manuscript. It is presented in Pahlavi script, along with transcription in English letters and English translation. The Dadestan i Menog i Xrad is a question and answer session between a Zoroastrian sage and an angel, 62 questions on philosphy, religion and ethics.
